Joel Campbell Quotations

I am very concerned that we spent all this time, money and energy for battle, where in other states they've been able to use their energy for positive change. For example, in Indiana they created an access counselor whose sole job is to ensure the public has access to government records.

This is actually a win for the public. The new criminal penalty for closed meeting violations is the teeth in the law that wasn't there before. It's a vast improvement from just making them go back in open meeting and doing it all over again.

They can sign all the confidentiality agreements they want. You can't have an agreement that goes contrary to the public-records law.

For the most part, we haven't had a whole lot of national security stuff in Utah. It just hasn't been an issue.
