Colorado’s analog records laws lag behind digital practice | The Colorado
Independent

The thinking behind open records law is that the public should enjoy access
to those kinds of communications, because they clearly form part of the
record of how our democracy works. But communication in the digital age
happens at lightning speed on all variety of platforms. Messages multiply.
One brings another. Then more come and bring more until they pile up like
grains of sand in the Sahara. Can we really expect officials to keep them
all and to deliver them in digestible chunks in a timely way upon request?

Colorado’s open-records laws, passed in the late sixties and early
seventies, were some of the first passed on the state level in the nation
and, as Colorado Ethics Watch puts it, they are “showing their age.”
