[edit] The public's shrinking right to know

"Whether local activist Mike Bethel was on a "fishing" exhibition in seeking e-mails exchanged be-tween local school board members is beside the point as far as the public's right to know is concerned.

Mr. Bethel's request was denied by the boards, and now Superior Court Judge David Howard has dismissed Mr. Bethel's suit against the officials to obtain those e-mails."
