From the Arkansas Advocate:
Proposed ballot language that would make government transparency a constitutional right in Arkansas still lacks clarity and is unfit for a statewide vote, Attorney General Tim Griffin wrote in a Monday opinion.
In response, the nonpartisan Arkansas Citizens for Transparency (ACT) submitted another draft to Griffin’s office Monday evening.
ACT proposed a second iteration of the amendment Dec. 20 after Griffin rejected an earlier attempt. The group submitted four potential ballot titles:
The Arkansas Government Transparency Amendment
The Arkansas Government Openness Amendment
The Arkansas Government Disclosure Amendment
The Open Meetings and Open Records in State and Local Government Amendment
Third proposed Arkansas government transparency amendment submitted to AG
