#FOIAchat this Friday

Sunshine Review loves data, that nitty-gritty information that can really break down a topic, but one thing is can’t do is discuss what’s going on with people like you in real time.

Luckily, Twitter is there to back us up. This Friday w’ere going to be starting FOIAchat Fridays, where we can sit down for an hour or so and hear what you’re thoughts, experiences or hopes are for government transparency.

Please joins us, and invite others, tomorrow for our first FOIAchat Friday.

• When: March 5th
• Time: 1:00 pm CST – 2:00 pm CST
• Twitter hashtag: #FOIAchat
• Topic: Changes to FOIA laws

We’re especially curious to hear your thoughts on what’s going on with Illinois’s FOIA law. It was opened up in late 2009, but already the Illinois Legislature has proposed six bills that would restrict the FOIA law, including passing SB 315 which restricted access to public employee performance evaluations.

So join us tomorrow to let us know your thoughts on these and other FOIA developments.
