LANSING, Mich. — Senate Republican Leader Aric Nesbitt, R-Porter Township, on Wednesday issued the following statement following passage of bipartisan legislation expanding the Freedom of Information Act to improve government transparency in the state of Michigan:
“Michigan’s governor’s office and Legislature have a long history of being among the least transparent governing branches in the nation. Today, thanks to the steadfast bipartisan work of lawmakers who have refused to accept the status quo year after year, we have finally delivered the kind of transparency that our residents deserve. I hope the bills are but the first of many more reforms taken to let the sunshine in more brightly on the workings of Michigan’s government.”
