Sunshine Week 2024

by Carla Gericke
written by Carla Gericke

It’s Sunshine Week again, when we highlight the necessity of open government, and I’m waiting to hear back from the Union Leader on my op-ed for this year, but:

1. Below was one of my proudest moments as an activist… Why? Because SHOWING ordinary Granite Staters real physical censorship galvanized new RTK (Right-to-Know) and open government activists. Hard to justify blacked out blocks in a newspaper and claim you’re “the good guys.”

2. If you’re interested in shrinking government (and who here isn’t?) then understanding and utilizing the tool of open government requests should be a priority for YOU.

3. If you want to learn more about this area of law/potential for useful activism, please attend the RTK talks with me, Laurie Ortolano and Greg Sullivan at Liberty Forum tomorrow, Friday 9-11am in Ballroom B.

4. Did you know a bill was introduced this session by Josh Yokela to put all RTK requests in a searchable database? NH will become THE leader on open and transparent government soon!

Laurie’s List Released!

by Carla Gericke
written by Carla Gericke

I have been slacking on my police accountability work lately, mostly because I have grown very frustrated with how little and slow the progress is, and how little people seem to care. BUT, once in a while, the needle moves in the direction of open and transparent government.

The Laurie’s List was released last week. This is fantastic news for accountable policing! There’s still a lot of work to be done, but it’s always great to see years of work come to fruition.

Last week I said this on Facebook:

Looks like the Laurie’s List of Bad Cops has finally been released–only partially because what else you can you expect from corrupt people? Of course, they have done everything in their power to reduce the number of names on the list since April 2019 when Judge Temple ordered that the list was in the public interest and should be made public, including:
* Rochester’s police chief antics (https://www.nashuatelegraph.com/…/rochester-police…/);
* 28 names being removed the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving (http://indepthnh.org/…/ag-removes-28-names-from-laurie…/);
* Approx. 13 sealed (i.e. “secret”) cases now in NH Courts–secret courts to listen to secret cases about secret bad police, tsk, tsk, tsk. BUT… progress…https://www.wmur.com/…/new-hampshire-police…/38636851https://htv-prod-media.s3.amazonaws.com/…/laurie-list…

I will be doing a show about this topic soon, so stay tuned and remember to SUBSCRIBE to my Odysee channel. Thanks!
