12/05/2006. VOTING RIGHTS FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

Now it is up to the U.S. Congress to vote to give Americans living in the nation’s capital the voting representation that is their right.  The bill must pass the House quickly so that the Senate can act.  DC citizens have been denied their right to a vote in the body that makes their laws, taxes them and can call them to war for far too long.

2007 Sunshine Week Opportunity for Leagues

The American Society of Newspaper Editors’ (ASNE) Sunshine Week project is coordinating a 50-state freedom of information audit that will be released in conjunction with Sunshine Week 2007, March 11-17. During an information audit, requestors visit pre-selected government offices, ask for copies of particular public documents (in this case, documents related to emergency preparedness) and then record how well the agency responds. The project plans to pair newspapers with local civic groups in order to engage citizens in the audit process. It also encourages public forums to discuss access issues as well as the substance of the documents requested. The audits are to be conducted in early January with results released in March. For more information about this effort, please contact ASNE Sunshine Week Coordinator, Debra Gersh Hernandez at dghernandez@asne.org or view the National Audit FAQ. To let LWFEF know if you are interested, please contact Theresa Cummings.
