[edit] Does Public Information in Montana Need Better Enforcement?

"Has the time come to remove the onus for enforcing public information and open meeting laws from the citizen or media complainant and put the burden on government?

The question was raised by the executive director of the Montana Newspaper Association in the organization’s most recent newsletter.
