A special panel of the Freedom of Information Advisory Council has declined to endorse legislation to require the State Corporation Commission to comply with many provisions of Virginia’s open-government laws.  The Rights and Remedies subcommittee took up the issue at the request of a Fairfax Delegate who believes that many of the SCC’s activities are too shielded from the public.  As Virginia Public Radio’s Anne Marie Morgan reports, supporters of the requirement say they’re seeking a middle ground that would still safeguard the SCC’s regulatory activities.
