Californians to vote on cost of public records

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown and the Legislature had just sealed a
$96.3 billion state budget last year when an outcry erupted over a
provision that allowed local governments to deny requests for public
documents because the state wouldn’t reimburse them.

They restored funding and now support a ballot measure that aims to make
sure the episode is never repeated.

Proposition 42 would amend the state constitution to require cities,
counties, school districts and other local agencies to comply with state
laws to make documents available and open their meetings to the public.
They also would be required to cover the costs for doing so.
