We tackled what we view as the first
“layer.” We applied points to each
of four categories, then assessed
each government accordingly:
government websites (30 points,
plus 2 bonus points), meetings (30

records request process (10 points).

That answer involves many,
many layers of case law, legislation, expectation, ideology, opinion, awareness
and even attitude — too many layers, in fact, to

In essence, it’s how expensive fees are for
obtaining records, or how well minutes are
recorded and kept, or how populated websites are with information, or how emails are
exchanged among government officials, or how
they conduct business in private, and everything in between.
