  • Worcester Telegram & Gazette: Switch is a Work in Progress; AG Now Handling Open Meeting Law Enforcement.
  • AP via Boston.com: Mass. Lawmakers Still Exempt from Open Meeting Law.
  • GateHouse News Service: Mass. Journalists, Citizens Face a Hodgepodge of Local Open Records Practices.
  • GateHouse News Service: Commentary: It's Time for Massachusetts to Pursue Greater Online Access to Public Information.
  • Patriot Ledger: Dozens of Bills Pending to Increase Access to Public Meetings, Documents.
  • New England First Amendment Center: Mass. Writer Asks a Question, Gets a Bill.

Let me know of other stories I've missed.
