Sunshine Week 2018 Editorial: Defending the public’s right to know

This Sunshine Week 2018 editorial by a Maryland news outlet is a worthwhile read. National Sunshine Week (March 11-17, 2018) is celebrated annually during the week that includes March 16, the birthday of James Madison, the father of the U.S. Constitution. The aim is to promote increased governmental transparency and ongoing public oversight, and to educate persons about their “right to know.”
