Government officials are obligated by law to release public records on request. But some agencies take the initiative to release information to the public proactively.
This week on “Transparency Talk”, hosts Bill Lueders and Tom Kamenick discuss public records websites like OpenBook Wisconsin and the Secretary of State’s new online database, and the benefits of maintaining these resources for both the government and the people.
But before we turn it over to Tom and Bill, our standard reminder that this conversation is not intended to be specific legal advice but rather a discussion of general legal issues. If you have a particular legal issue, please consult an attorney.
