TTT's Andy Driscoll and Lynnell Mickelsen discuss Government Secrecy with some of Minnesota's most prominent advocates for open government, access and a free press. Our guests: Retired St. Paul Pioneer Press Executive Editor and Assistant Publisher – a renowned expert on press freedoms and government transparency – John R. Finnegan; Attorney and retired state Information Policy Analysis Division director and a sought-after specialist in government information accessibility, Don Gemberling; and Michael Friedman, Executive Director of the Legal Rights Center in Minneapolis and former Chair of the Minneapolis Civilian Review Authority Board.

More and more public information is being witheld from the public. This is not about security, it's about secrecy in state and local government - reports and activities kept behind an opaque veil of bureaucracy and political expediency. MnDOT's engineering and administrative reports on the I-35W bridge are merely one example of public employees refusing to disclose information that could save lives, injuries, and money. Contracts and deals are struck without bidding or scrutiny and reports of dangerous infrastructure flaws are kept under wraps. Who will break open the political cocoon that is becoming our gvernment and let the butterfly free to allow citizens to access and control their government once again?
