Kathy Kiely, the Lee Hills Chair in Free-Press Studies at the Missouri School of Journalism, discusses the Missouri Sunshine Law, which grants public access to the meetings, proceedings and correspondence of all levels of government. It has allowed members of the public and the press to shine light to how decisions are made; detect corruption and other wrongdoing; and keep the public informed. Learn about the law's bipartisan history, recent "Sunshine Heroes" and threats to continued public access to government records. Co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Columbia-Boone County and the Columbia Missouri Branch of AAUW.
