[edit] Iowa ombudsman urges lawmakers to update open records laws

"The state ombudsman is urging legislators to update state laws on a range of issues relating to public access to government records.

Ombudsman William Angrick says the Legislature failed to approve revisions this year but that lawmakers set the stage for future action.

Angrick was speaking Tuesday before the Legislature's Government Oversight Committee.

He told lawmakers that enforcement of laws governing access to government meetings and records was especially important and that he was working more closely with the state attorney general and auditor."
