[edit] Kudos to Pierre for records Web site

"Up is down, black is white, and the state of South Dakota has a new Web site collecting copious amounts of public information.

OK, maybe that's a flip response to something that is in fact a real victory for free and open access to government: the state's new OpenSD Web site.

But South Dakota's record when it comes to government openness is not the best. The Legislature has yet to pass a truly comprehensive open records law - one that presumes openness and then lays out reasonable exceptions."
