New Jersey senate considers bill that would make it more difficult for journalists to request government info

One lawyer told a local news site that the bill 'bring us darkness' and 'not sunshine' into the public discourse


A New Jersey State senator is supporting a bill that would weaken the state's Open Public Records Act (OPRA), which allows citizens and journalists access to government communications and information. 

The bill, sponsored by State Sen. Paul Sarlo, would "make it difficult for requestors who are denied records to find lawyers to represent them to fight records denials from agencies that don’t follow the law and wrongfully deny access to public records," make exempt "all email logs and call logs" and in general would make it far more difficult for journalists and members of the public to see the communications of government officials," per the The Jersey Vindicator.
