The 21st Century Right-to-Know Project will be hosting a session on April 26, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Tempe Public Library (lunch will be provided). Researchers from Washington are coming to the Phoenix area to collect input on what works and what needs to be improved in FOI laws on the federal and state levels. The input will help the drafting of a proposal which will be delivered to the new president. The event also marks the Phoenix stop of the Tour d'FOI. If you'd like to attend, please RSVP to Mollie Churchill at OMB Watch.
