On this week\u2019s episode of the Northeast Newscast we\u2019re joined by Dennis Ellsworth, executive director of the Missouri Sunshine Coalition. We discuss a bill being proposed in the Missouri Legislature that would change the Missouri Sunshine Law, leaving citizens and journalists with less access to government documents.
The Missouri Sunshine Coalition is a partnership of civic, business, nonprofit, state agency, and media members who support transparency in government. The group has long promoted awareness of the landmark 1973 Sunshine Law and the benefits it provides to the state\u2019s residents.
