Tracey P. Lauriault
Don't sacrifice open government (The Sun) - http://www.sbsun.com/editorial/ci_15346295

We join the California Newspaper Publishers Association in calling for a measure to ensure permanently that local governments will comply with the agenda-posting requirement of the Brown Act, the state's open-meeting laws.

US open data guru urges govts to let go (AP Future Gov) - http://www.futuregov.net/articles/2010/jun/22/us-open-data-guru-urges-govts-let-go/

Open government should not be a one-time only exercise. We want to change the culture of government to one in which openness with the public is an everyday activity. Transparency should be the norm, not the exception.
