Issue Position: Public Records

Issue Position

According to recent audits, some government agencies in Tennessee are making it challenging for people to access public records which can violate state law of open access.
That we have to pass a law to require government agencies to provide access to public records reinforces the fact that government has forgotten its place. Our government was instituted to serve the people. Not the other way around.

These agency managers that continue to impede the publics right to know should take notice. There is a rising tide against a high handed government. People recognize they are the ones paying for the salaries, the insurance and the pensions of the people causing the frustration. Its time these agencies recognize it as well.
