Abstract:
The League of Women Voters has been an active champion of openness in government throughout our history. The organization's principles include the requisite that government bodies protect the citizen's right to know by giving adequate notice of proposed actions, holding open meetings and making public records accessible. Over the years, the League has supported various federal legislative initiatives to expand open government requirements, and has fought against proposals aimed at limiting access to public information.
