WY State Senate Moves To Restrict Public Access To Information

The Wyoming State Senate is moving to restrict public access to information from state agencies and local governments. The Senate has approved an amendment that specifies state agencies and political subdivisions wouldn't have to disclose the records and recommendations that public officials relied on in reaching a final decision. Supporters say it would clarify existing state law, but opponents say it would create too much potential for abuse by public officials.
