RSA 91-A: Right to Know workshop with a South Korean contingent (Part 1) - Granite Grok

RSA 91-A: Right to Know workshop with a South Korean contingent (Part 1)

Monday night I had the pleasure of meeting with a small contingent of five South Korean politicos (and two interpreters) at the offices of CNHT in Concord.  They are touring the United States in search of how we deal with government corruption; CNHT was chosen for our nationally known experience (and success) in ferreting out and stopping local government officials acting badly.  We were also selected because we help other volunteers in doing this and build up that expertise and institutional knowledge that can be shared.

This workshop revolved around NH’s Right To Know statute: RSA 91-a and how ordinary citizens can and do use it quite effectively in a variety of ways of keep a government entity that may be trying to become unaccountable highly accountable to its citizens. After, it IS Government that is supposed to report to us – not the other way around.

As Skip is always saying “The Bigger the Government, the smaller the citizen”.  Being an aborist, think of RSA 91-a as the citizenry’s chainsaw (pruning government gone bad).
