Why it matters:
When officials can vote on agenda items with little or no advance notice, transparency collapses and accountability follows. This makes it far easier for bad decisions to dodge public scrutiny and for officials to avoid consequences.

The #Foilies2026
Established in 2015, The #Foilies are an annual project by the #ElectronicFrontierFoundation & #MuckRock to recognize the agencies, officials & contractors that thwart the public's #right to know. We give out these tongue-in-cheek "awards" during #SunshineWeek (March 15-21), a collective effort by media & advocacy organizations to highlight the importance of open government.
This year, we've got a few "winners" whose behavior defies belief.

Why it matters:
Closed-door bargaining lets officials dodge accountability and undercut teachers — while Republican super‑majorities keep many decisions hidden in secret caucuses. Transparency affects pay, staffing and students’ day-to-day lives. -

I picked up a great souvenir at #SunshineFest this #SunshineWeek. It goes well with an artifact from the Sunlight Foundation (RIP). “Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman.”-Brandeis

Great talk about 20 years of #SunshineWeek at #SunshineFest by Kevin Goldberg. SunshineWeek.org looks mighty different now, but the need for more government transparency & public access to information endures.

Providing access to public records and meetings is ‘real’ work, and history has repeatedly shown that ‘real’ bad things happen when the laws are weakened or violated.
