Sunshine Day in North Carolina was celebrated March 18 at the Levine Museum of the New South with a gathering of open government stakeholders.
The NCOGC program included three panels on key issues currently on the radar in North Carolina: best practices in complying with e-mail requests, full disclosure of public official salaries, and current open government policies and rulemaking at the federal and state level. At the daylong event, Gov. Beverly Perdue issued a recorded video statement announcing her intent to support a law increasing access to information about deaths in state facilities (see related info below in the “Raleigh Roundup”). Perdue also issued an earlier proclamation declaring March 15 – 21 Sunshine Week in North Carolina.
