[edit] TN Records access opened
"Tennesseans have begun to use the Office of Open Records Counsel to get the help they need to access the government information to which they are entitled under state law. In the past year, the office has received some 600 calls from the public on open government issues.
The office was set up last year under an overhaul of the open records law, which classifies most state, county and municipal records as available to any Tennessee citizen.
In wake of a 2004 audit in Tennessee by reporters, college students and volunteers, the law was beefed up. The audit had found that government agencies denied access to public records about a third of the time."
