Secretary of State Jim Condos announces 2nd biennial 'Got Transparency?' tour

Secretary of State Jim Condos is pleased to announce the start of his second biennial ‘Got Transparency?’ tour.
‘The Transparency Tour started as a way to get out into the community to discuss the changes that were occurring in Vermont’s open meeting and public records law, however, the need for local discussion is so strong that I felt it was important to make this tour a bi-yearly event.’ Secretary Condos stated.
This year, Secretary Condos will visit ten towns across the state to discuss Vermont’s public records and open meeting laws with municipal and state employees, citizens serving on local government boards and the general public.
The public is invited and encouraged to attend these events.
‘For those Vermonters who feel that dealing with government is confusing or intimidating: this is the perfect opportunity for you to get your questions answered!’ Secretary Condos added that, ‘It is important that the public know their rights when it comes to attending meetings and access to records; an informed citizenry is what helps hold all elected officials accountable.’
After a presentation there will be time for Q&A and a general discussion with the audience. Please bring any questions you might have about specific issues or nuances in these laws.
