Senator Pileggi Interviewed About Open Records Legislation; Video Available on YouTube

Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi (R-9) was interviewed recently by the Pennsylvania Newspaper Association (PNA) about Senate Bill 1, his legislation to strengthen Pennsylvania's Open Records Law. Videos from the interview have been posted to YouTube, and they can be accessed from Sen. Pileggi's web site, www.senatorpileggi.com. 

Sen. Pileggi has said that SB 1 is his top legislative priority this fall, calling a stronger Open Records Law "the cornerstone of reform." Since introducing the bill, he has announced his support for changing the presumption in the current law so that all government records are presumed to be open unless they fall under a specific exception established in law. 

The PNA interview with Sen. Pileggi covers a variety of topics, including why Open Records is a priority, whether there is enough momentum to get a bill signed into law, how exceptions will be determined, and many more. In total, the interview runs about 22 minutes long. 

More information about Senate Bill 1 and other state issues is available at Senator Pileggi's web site.
