"New Jersey's Office of the Attorney General has announced the state will abandon plans to establish controversial restrictions to its Open Public Records Act (OPRA). The restrictions, proposed in a state rule change, would have required requesters to prove a "need-to-know" before the state would release information about chemical hazards." From OMB Watch.
Kudos to Rick Engler, executive director of the New Jersey Work Environment Council and a labor union leader who has long struggled against NJ's chemical industries on right-to-know and other toxicality issues.
