Kentucky Open Government Coalition directors Jeremy Rogers and Amye Bensenhaver participated in a panel discussion at the Kentucky Association of Administrative Adjudicators' annual conference on August 27.
Rogers and Bensenhaver were joined by Assistant Attorney General Marc Manley.
KAAA is "a professional organization of attorneys and non-attorneys working full or part-time as administrative law judges, hearing officers, hearing examiners and referees on the federal, state, and local level in Kentucky."
The panel focused on changes to the open records law resulting form the 2021 legislative session. A brief question and answer period followed. True to form, KAAA's members posed some difficult questions, including one relating to public access to email discussions of public business on private devices in the context of secret meetings.
Manley announced recent (August 26) changes to the Attorney General's website that include removal of "Government Transparency" from the office "Priorities" identified on the homepage. The content is still available on the website, but cannot be directly linked from the homepage.
More on these changes to come.
