It s Sunshine Week. Let s meet Oregon s Public Records Advocate
Sunshine Laws dictate how transparent government is, how easily the public can access records and make sure we all can see how the government is being run. Author: KGW Staff Updated: 3:03 PM PDT March 16, 2021
SALEM, Ore. It’s Sunshine Week but we aren’t talking about the weather. Sunshine Week refers to access to public records laws. They re called Sunshine Laws.
Sunshine Laws are important to journalists but they re important to you, too. Sunshine Laws dictate how transparent government is, how easily the public can access all kinds of records, and make sure we all can see how the government is being run.
The resignation of Oregonâs former public records advocate, Ginger McCall, still echoes with consequences.
First, over the holidays, The Oregonian reported on an investigation from Gov. Kate Brownâs office. It concluded that a member of the governorâs staff did not pressure McCall to take the governorâs side. An attorney hired by the governorâs office authored the report. McCall has challenged it.
Second, a related bill is on the Legislatureâs agenda for the 2021 session. Legislative Concept 1478 attempts to make it clear that Oregonâs Public Records Advocate is to be an independent office. The governor would no longer get to appoint the advocate. The stateâs Public Records Advisory Council would.
