NFOIC awards Knight FOI Fund litigation grant in New Mexico public records suit

A weekly newspaper in New Mexico has been awarded a litigation grant from the Knight FOI Fund to press a legal action against a state college for disregarding basic requirements of that state's "sunshine law." The $11,000 grant to the Rio Grande Sun newspaper was the first awarded for a New Mexico case since the Fund was established.
