Leaders in the Pennsylvania Senate say they expect to quickly approve a new public records law after the legislature reconvenes Jan. 14. The Senate, which earlier approved its own bill, will consider the House bill when it meets. Open government groups consider it is the stronger of the proposals. Unlike current Pennsylvania law, the bill declares public all records of local governments and the state’s executive branch not excluded by a list of exceptions. (1/11/08)
