Please sign this petition to remind Governor Walker and Wisconsin legislators that transparency in government protects us all. "Amend. Don't Defend the JFC budget proposal to destroy our Open Records Law."
Why is this important?
As we celebrate our nation's independence, our freedom of information is about to be lost in Wisconsin where the Joint Finance Committee voted along party lines (12-4) in an 11th hour addition to the state budget to drastically change the Open Records Law. This law keeps legislators accountable and citizens informed. The budget now moves to Wisconsin's state Senate and Assembly where they will vote this week. Legislators have an opportunity to amend the budget and restore their constituents' ability to access information. This is not a partisan issue. Transparency in government protects us all.
