[Occupymendocino] End the FOIA Exemption for the Michigan Legislature and Governor's Office

[John Fremont]

Hi, Occupiers, 

The Michigan Legislature and the Governor's Office are currently exempt from
Freedom of Information Act requests, shielding their activities from public
scrutiny and accountability. The Courser-Gamrat Scandal is only the latest
example of legislators abusing the exemption.  Public records should be
publicly accessible - no exceptions.

That's why I signed a petition to The Michigan State House, The Michigan
State Senate, and Governor Rick Snyder, which says:

"State officials shouldn't be able to avoid accountability by exempting
themselves from public records laws." 

Will you sign this petition? Click here:
