Open Records Law Discussed

"Advocates for freedom of information and the First Amendment are talking about South Dakota's new public records law passed by the legislature.

Leaders in the community came together to discuss what the new open records measure means in South Dakota. The new law makes public records public unless there's a good reason to keep them private."
