Community newspapers across the nation this week are celebrating Sunshine Week, a call to emphasize open government and the publicâs right to know. Itâs an excellent reminder to the public, journalists and those in government of the importance of open, transparent government.
As Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wrote in the âPublic Information Act Handbook 2020,â Texans have the right to see how their government is spending their tax dollars and exercising the powers they have granted it. That knowledge is essential to preserving the rule of law, protecting the democratic process and defending the liberty we all cherish.â
