It may surprise you to know that governmental entities are often less informed about the laws that govern public records disclosure and public meetings than citizen watchdogs are. Join us to learn the facts and to discuss the tools available to you for improving governmental transparency in your own town and beyond.
The New Jersey Foundation for Open Government (NJFOG) will hold its monthly meeting on June 26th at 7 p.m. on the 2nd floor of the Bound Brook Public Library, 402 E. High Street, Bound Brook, NJ 08805. All are welcome.
Come meet NJFOG’s talented president Walter Luers and well-known open government advocate John Paff and the other dedicated members of the NJFOG team.
Pending NJ legislation with respect to the Open Public Records Act (OPRA) and Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA) may be discussed. These bills, which are intended to modernize & reform existing laws, are expected to be voted on by the Senate tomorrow, Thursday, June 27.
From the NJFOG website: “The New Jersey Foundation for Open Government seeks to increase transparency, accountability, honesty and democracy in government at all levels by defending and expanding public access to government records and meetings.”
NJFOG meetings are typically held the last Wednesday of each month.
