The right of constituents to access records that governmental bodies have collected as well as attend public meetings where vital issues are discussed remains an essential component in how we practice democracy.
A self-governing system demands that citizens have access to accurate information about what their governments are doing. We canât make good decisions about how to structure society if those granted authority to preside over these matters conduct the peopleâs business in secret.
Laws enacted in all jurisdictions require public officials to make certain records available upon request and hold their meetings in the open. Exceptions are made to protect sensitive interests, but these are meant to be invoked only when necessary.

DANSVILLE The Village of Dansville made it official last week and appointed Shannon Griese Chief of the Dansville Police Department.
Griese has been serving as the Sergeant in Charge since the Oct. 1, 2019 retirement of Charles Perkins. The village board made the appointment on a provisional basis pending Griese passing a formal test for the position.
Mayor Peter Vogt said Griese’s tenure leading the department gave the village board every confidence it had the right candidate for the position in-house.
“He’s done a pretty good job as the Sergeant in Charge. He’s a go getter and we’re real happy with him,” Vogt said. “He has taken the bull by the horns and straightened quite a few things out. We’re on the right track.”
