What's New In Open Government...
Continuing with my post from yesterday... here are some more stories that appeared in the first half of September:
Police Logs Aren't Public?
(Sept. 12, 2008, Greater Grafton Blog)
This is a post about the trouble the reporter had when she asked to review the police log at the Grafton Police Department. M.G.L. chapter 41, section 98F, which is set out in the post, requires that police logs be open to the public.
Boston City Council to Fight for Private Meetings
(Sept. 14, 2008, Left of Boston blog)
This is a post on a blog maintained by a student. It is another piece about the Boston City Council's complaints about the Open Meeting Law.
Sewer Plan Too Large and Costly
(Sept. 15, 2008, SouthCoastToday.com)
Although this article is about a dispute over the installation of sewer systems in Mattapoisett, the author mentions the problems he had with obtaining information from the local government:

Although this article is about a dispute over the installation of sewer systems in Mattapoisett, the author mentions the problems he had with obtaining information from the local government:
I am opposed to the proposed system because the town has yet to release a list of properties that will be connected to it. I have been forced to request the data through the Massachusetts Public Records Law, yet the town has yet to comply. Why would the town withhold information? Perhaps the data the town has used is distorted.

Thanks for the link -- but the author of the Greater Grafton Blog is most definitely a "she." :-)
My bad. I should have looked more closely at your "About" page. I usually put s/he in when I am not certain of the gender of the person, but I was in too much of a rush this morning. So sorry about that. I have corrected the posting. Thank you for pointing out the mistake.
Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For quite a long time, I earn money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I'm very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my web site to get additional info.
