[edit] Don't further weaken access bill
"A bill in the Alabama Legislature that would give state and local agencies a deadline by which to provide a member of the public access to public records should improve government openness, but only if the Legislature doesn't further water it down before it passes.
The bill by Sen. Larry Dixon, R-Montgomery, originally proposed a deadline of five business days for a public body to produce a record. But Dixon has said that he plans to change the bill to allow 15 business days."
