· Story link

New Mexico Attorney General Gary King said he will ask the Legislature to approve revisions to the public records law that require agencies to respond to e-mail requests for information and that provide a penalty for violating the law. The proposed change would also permit agencies to respond to requests by e-mail, speeding up the process. King said he will also ask the Legislature approve a law requiring university donors who are soliciting contracts or doing business with the school to disclose their contributions. (3/11/08)
