The Arkansas Legislature is currently conducting a special session. One issue they are considering is cutting back on transparency in state government. Governor Sanders has requested that the legislature cut out portions of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) so that citizens no longer have the right to view some government records. The records she objects to citizens viewing are those pertaining to her government travel and other aspects of her governance, such as some communications between her office and cabinet secretaries. Her travel and salary are paid for by the citizens for whom she works. Sanders says she is working toward greater transparency in government. This is quite obviously the opposite of that.
