[edit] Rounds favors protection in records debate

"Gov. Mike Rounds says he remains convinced that open records discussions in South Dakota should focus on what government information ought to be protected.

The issue, fought last session, is expected to return in the 2009 Legislature. Senate Republican Leader Dave Knudson of Sioux Falls says he’s writing a bill to start the discussion with the concept that government records should be open to the public. It would take a strong argument to keep a record closed, he says."
