Virginia Tech’s sunshine specialists
Sunshine Week, the annual celebration of open government, starts today. In past years, I have marked this occasion with investigations into public records and meetings. I shared information the government owes the people under the Freedom of Information Act.
This year, instead of looking at what FOIA means to the people, I want to share what it looks like from the perspective of the gatekeepers, the public servants who must abide by it.
