My concerns about this #OPRA bill remain. While the amendments address some issues, the version before the Senate Budget Committee today will still result in less transparency, and make it harder for residents to hold government accountable.

New Jersey's Open Public Records Act (OPRA) is a vital tool for sustainability via transparency. Excellent op-ed from the The Retrospect on the shameful bill that passed in both chambers of the State Legislature earlier this week. Governor Phil Murphy better #VETO
