Good Lesson From a Newspaper Guy

From Michael Silence: 

Here’s a rule of thumb: It is not incumbent upon you to prove a document is public. It is incumbent upon a government employee to prove it is not.

*Read the story which prompted that nugget.  Interesting:

Ms. Long again stated that they were not public and would not be public until today. After I insisted that they were public, she finally said she just didn’t care and handed me the bids to review.

*Not Knox County–YAY!
