South Dakota panel narrows focus on open government ideas

From San Francisco Chronicle:

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — A task force seeking ways to make South Dakota government more open has narrowed its focus to a list of proposals ranging from giving citizens access to crime suspects’ mug shots to making sure board and commission meetings are public.

The panel has not agreed on any proposals but has asked for some to be put into writing as possible changes to state law, so task force members can see details, chairman Tony Venhuizen said Friday.
