How To Keep Your Local Government Honest - By Attending Their Meetings!



On Wednesday, May 8th, NeAnne Clinton, a resident of Enid fighting a 10k acre solar farm installation, talked about how - with a lack of transparency by both the solar company and Garfield County government - the Garfield County Conservation Coalition has been able to stay abreast of all transpiring details of the project. 

Watch this short clip to see how NeAnne - and her friends - find out what their local governmental officials are doing. 

Unfortunately, there are no Freedom of Information seminars scheduled by the Oklahoma AG's office or the Oklahoma Press Association for 2024. 

After calling the OPA it was discovered that instructional seminars only occur every other year as the Freedom of Information booklet is re-published with updated laws ad citations in those years. 

Please go to the Oklahoma Press Association Website where you can order an Open Meeting, Open Records booklet to help you understand Oklahoma's FOI laws. You can find that here: https://okpress.com/page/seminars 

Follow NeAnne's lead. The nation may be in tatters, so let's fight to protect the ground under our feet and we can only do that by attending the meetings of our local governmental entities!
