California Pubilc Records Act[edit]

Hello, Bayreporta, and thanks for your note on my talk page. I appreciate your desire to contribute constructively to Wikipedia. Yes, I do think something at California Public Records Act would be the way to go in this case; putting an extended comment on the page of every single legislator who voted for this thing was overkill. Be sure that your addition is WP:neutral in tone and is sourced; it would be nice if you could find more neutral sources, rather than articles titled "guts" and "eviscerates"! How about a straight news story like the Los Angeles Times http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-budget-open-records-20130619,0,659990.story or the San Jose Mercury News http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_23479033/bill-would-let-calif-cities-decide-open-records ? --MelanieN (talk) 15:14, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That looks fine and is an important addition to that article. Thanks. --MelanieN (talk) 02:12, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
