[edit] Editorial: Open records legislation a step forward

"Let's make at least one thing clear.

The open records bill that passed the Legislature is historic.

It's a major step forward for South Dakota that should be celebrated.

The Rushmore State for years has held an antiquated view of how accessible public records should be to the residents of this great state.

The new bill now would create a standard that presumes all government records are open to the public, while specifying some exceptions."
