It may surprise you to know that governmental entities are
often less informed about the laws that govern public records disclosure and public
meetings than citizen watchdogs are. Whether
they are aware of the rules or not, governmental agencies often fail to comply
with them unless encouraged to by a knowledgeable public keeping a watchful
eye.
Come meet well-known open government advocate John Paff and
NJFOG’s president, attorney Walter Luers, as well as the other dedicated
members of the NJFOG team, many of whom take an active role in promoting open
government throughout the state and in their own home towns through public meeting attendance, researching issues, and writing about them!
“The New Jersey Foundation for
Open Government seeks to increase transparency, accountability, honesty and
democracy in government at all levels by defending and expanding public access
to government records and meetings.”
