The current Flint water controversy has raised the issue of transparency in Michigan. Michigan just recently received an "F" grade from a national transparency organization for the state's policies on transparencies. The Governor's Office and the legislature in Michigan are exempt from Freedom of Information Act and the Open Meetings Act and their are now calls for the statutory elimination of those exemptions. The time has come for a discussion between the legislature, the Governor and Michigan citizens. In todays world where information moves at lightening speed we should not have one of the most archaic open government systems in America. Need a thorough discussion with taxpayers and public policy makers. Find a reasonable and workable solution/alternative to the current total exemption in Michigan.
