HB 509 is dead, and the autopsy begins. Was it legislative inertia or overwhelming public opposition that killed the bill? To be sure, very few will mourn its passing, but all should fear a 2025 resurrection. https://t.co/HH9wp1I2FF

Unlike in past years, the Senate didn't host a hearing on #SunshineWeek & the Freedom of Information Act, despite abysmal compliance. The only "sunshine law" that Senators passed was on on Daylight Saving Times – but sleep experts say they got it wrong: https://t.co/EEoSdhz6vR
Fun cartoon for #SunshineWeek by John Darkow. We ran it in lots of our newspapers in Wisconsin today. #OpenGov isn't a partisan issue. It's a good government issue everyone should support. It saves tax $, helps keep leaders honest, accountable: https://t.co/K2FJW0s8RM

Be curious. "Turn assumptions into questions," says @moniguzman at UF talk on bridging divides. From journalism to society-building!

Not sure how corrections officers face harm, other than embarrassment, for posting of these fuzzy images. Certainly not enough to warrant prior restraint for an issue of such huge public concern.
reviewjournal.com
Henderson residents paid nearly $5 million in overtime to run the city’s understaffed jail during the past three years, a Las Vegas Review-Journal investigation found.
Nevada police union sues Las Vegas Review-Journal to take down video and pictures, saying it's illegal to disseminate images of peace officers. Wow! Talk about prior restraint. Case continues this month...

Has promise? Maybe to help fill the void of FOIAonline going away Saturday.
Cool AI-driven FOIA Wizard in development by DOJ to help federal #FOIA requesters. See slides 13-18 from presentation 9/26. https://t.co/zAk3KYNH0T

YOLO. Makes you appreciate the little things. And in humans. Some tears, nervous glances. But no screams. No selfishness. Renewed my faith in humanity.
@HarrisonHove @AmericanAir Damn! Glad you’re okay.

You handled it with grace. Cool and calm. Some passengers in tears. We all thought we would die. But all good. #budsforlife!
I’ve flown a lot. This was scary. Kudos to our amazing flight crew- cabin staff and pilots on @AmericanAir 5916. The photos cannot capture the burning smell, loud bang or ear pops. Good to be on the ground. #AA5916 #CLT #GNV
