[edit] Press group opposes closing records of legislative probes

"The Kentucky Press Association is opposing provisions in legislation that would exempt records of a proposed investigative arm of the General Assembly from the state open-records law.

"Records addressed in this legislation, in our opinion, should be open to the public," said Ashley Pack, general counsel for the Kentucky Press Association. "In fact, the very nature of this new division highlights the reason why the public should be involved.""
