Keep public records public

5.6.10: Keep public records public: From today’s Guardian, article on the Supreme Court case that may take the “public” out of “public records.”  Dan Kennedy writes, “Information technology has given us the tools to govern ourselves more openly and transparently than we ever have before. It would be sadly ironic if that technology is now used as an excuse to cover up public records lest they become too public for those who wish to take part in democracy, but who lack the courage of their convictions.” Source – http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2010/may/06/supreme-court-public-records
