Iowa Open Records Bill Dies for 2008

According to this article in the Waterloo and Cedar Falls Courier, changes to the Iowa Public Records law have failed for the 2008 legislative session.  The changes were close to being passed before being pulled last weekend.  Opposition came from local governments and republicans who were worried about a flood of requests.  Requests that, I would think, would be to inform the citizens about what the governments were doing with the requesters tax dollars.  Ironic.
