Krueger to hold virtual Right-to-Know Workshop Tuesday

BROOKHAVEN, Jan. 23 – State Rep. Leanne Krueger and the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records are holding a special event on Tuesday to help organizations and residents understand Pennsylvania’s Right-to-Know law and how to file a request.  

The virtual workshop will be held from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 28. Registration is required to obtain the link to the event by calling Krueger’s office at 610-534-6880 or by emailing RepKrueger@pahouse.net.

Pennsylvania’s 16-year-old Right-to-Know law applies to all state and local government agencies. Krueger said the workshop will give participants a better understanding of the law and answer frequently asked questions, such as how to make a request, what records are considered public and what agencies can and can’t do when someone files a Right-to-Know request.

“A transparent government strengthens democracy, and access to information allows citizens to stay informed about their government and empowers them to participate,” Krueger said. “This workshop is meant to help people understand the rights they have in knowing more about the financial and other decision-making processes of the officials and agencies who serve them.”

Questions about the workshop can be directed to Krueger’s office by calling 610-534-6880.
