Publicly funded lawsuits should be open to public
ReplyDeleteSchoolmoney_4It’s been a long, strange journey at times, but the Topeka Capital-Journal’s lawsuit against Schools for Fair Funding has ended quietly and justly -- with a settlement under which the group agrees to comply with the state’s open-meetings and open-records laws.

Now, it can no longer hide its activities from public scrutiny. The deal even resulted in a $12,500 contribution from the schools group to the Sunshine Coalition for Open Government. As House Speaker Melvin Neufeld, R-Ingalls, said in applauding the settlement, “If you’re spending taxpayer dollars to sue the state, it ought to be viewed as a public entity.”
