From the Wilson Times (3/16/13): State lawmakers filed two bills to give North Carolina residents more access to public records and meetings in the midst of a weeklong open government campaign.

UPDATE: The Turnage Conference, which was to be sponsored, in part, by the Sunshine Center of the North Carolina Open Government Coalition, has been postponed because of a scheduling conflict with a speaker. A new date for the conference hasn't been set, but it won't happen during ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ's spring semester. When and if the conference is rescheduled, we will let you know. The full text of the original release related to the conference is still available below.
