[edit] Our view: Records law applies to all levels of government

"Late last week, we commented on a lamentable challenge to Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know Law by a school district that withheld numbers from a draft budget discussed at a public meeting.

We recommended the Legislature quickly close an emerging loophole in the law driven by that particular school district, never imagining additional difficulties might arise from within the state's executive branch headed by Gov. Ed Rendell."
