The Sun is Shining

Sunshine Week—this moniker seemed particularly apt this week, with all the gorgeous weather we’re having in North Texas.

Sunshine Week is held each year in March to create “a dialogue about the importance of open government to the public.” You can find more information at these sites:

• Sunshine Week website
• Sunshine Week blog
• Facebook Group

• CyberCemetery
• Congressional Research Service Reports

Also, the Charlotte Observer has a news page and a blog about Sunshine Week.
