Group aims at government transparency in W.Va.
March 20, 2010 10:30 AM


West Virginia lags behind the rest of the country in promoting government openness, members of a new group say, and they hope a $15,000 grant will change that.



The West Virginia Open Government Coalition recently won the funding from the National Freedom of Information Coalition to establish an office at Marshall University.

Marshall journalism school dean Corley Dennison says the group will run the office and a Web site, offering assistance to residents, the media and public officials on freedom of information and open government topics.

Dennison says West Virginia and Wyoming were the last two states without such a group, and that a similar organization formed in Wyoming last year.
