How Open is Your State Government? See the 2009 Sunshine Week Report

Which state do you think has the most categories of public records available online? One of the liberal bastions, right? New York, Minnesota, California.

Wrong. It's Texas.

New York is fourth-highest and as usual Mississippi is dead last. Kentucky is a pleasant surprise at 26th.

Find out which categories of public information are available online in your state here.

And celebrate Sunshine Week by exercising your right to know what your government is doing - file a Freedom of Information Act request and demand your state, local or federal government put that information online.
