All
Council Member Muriel Bowser will hold a public hearing Wednesday on the
proposed open government act and two FOIA amendment bills, one
introduced by Ward 7 Council Member Yvette Alexander and the other by
the mayor. The Open Gov’t Coalition, represented by Tom Susman, and the
Md./Del./D.C. Press Assn. will testify. I plan to testify for the
chapter, and I expect the ACLU to be there as well. We all want the
council to enact Mary Cheh’s open gov’t act with a number of amendments
we proposed. We want it to reject the two FOIA amendment bills. I will
circulate a draft of my testimony at the beginning of the week.
