Vermont Business Magazine Secretary of State Jim Condos is pleased to announce the start of his third biennial Transparency Tour. The tour will stop at 12 locations across the state to discuss Vermont’s public records and open meeting laws with municipal and state employees and citizens who serve on local government boards. The public is invited and encouraged to attend.
Secretary said, “Good government is open and transparent government! This tour will not only allow me to assist Vermont’s public officials who must abide by these open meeting and public records laws every day, but also explain these laws to citizens who are looking to hold their governments accountable.”
After a presentation, there will be a chance for Q&A and a general discussion with the audience. Secretary Condos welcomes the chance to answer any questions attendees may have regarding the nuances of these laws.
“I look forward to the opportunity to engage Vermonters in a thoughtful discussion on open and transparent government this fall,” Secretary Condos noted.
