State Representative for the 52nd District, Donna Lasinski, will be holding a coffee hour in Manchester on聽Wednesday, March 29th, from聽6-7pm in the聽Village Room location the lower level,聽912 City Rd.
Lasinski praised the recent passage of a bipartisan legislative package that would extend Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to apply to the governor office and would create a similar Legislative Open Records Act to apply to the state Legislature.
鈥淲hen I came to Lansing, I felt it was important that we work to restore the public trust in their state government, which is why I focused my first bill on making our government more transparent and accountable,鈥 Lasinski said. 鈥淭oday my colleagues on both sides of the aisle joined together in passing legislation that shines a light on the inner workings of their state government. Together, these bills represent a significant step toward holding our state elected officials accountable to the people we serve.鈥
Lasinski bill in the package, House Bill 4156, specifies how to separate exempt from non-exempt material in requested documents, and requires that non-exempt material be made available for review. It also directs the attorney general to counsel and advise a public body on the administration of the Legislative Open Records Act to the state Legislature.
If you will be unable to attend the event in Manchester, she is also holding a coffee hour on聽Thursday, March 23rd from聽6:30-7:30pm at the聽Northfield Township Office, Board Room, located at聽8350 Main St., Suite A., in Whitmore Lake.
