Transparency and openness in government
The State of New Hampshire's RSA 91-A is commonly referred to as the "Right To Know" law. As a matter of principle as well as legal obligation, the Town of Durham seeks to "embrace openness in the conduct of public business," as stated in the Town Council's 2014-2015 Goals.
The preamble of RSA 91-A reads:
Openness in the conduct of public business is essential to a democratic society. The purpose of this chapter is to ensure both the greatest possible public access to the actions, discussions and records of all public bodies, and their accountability to the people.
