Because of the Sunshine Law, citizens are allowed in public meetings. They can request government records. The law is designed to limit corruption and increase public trust by requiring transparency. Sunshine Week is celebrated nationally to promote open government at all levels. In Missouri, it’s been the law for 50 years.
Our hosts in the Kansas City League remind us: “Government transparency improves our lives. Open government is good government.” Learn how the “Show Me State” does Sunshine.
The program originally aired March 13 via Zoom.
