  • I do not see an exception to the judicial (this is what she cited is it not) so maybe someone should point that out.

    50-18-70.
    (a) The General Assembly finds and declares that the strong public policy of this state is in
    favor of open government; that open government is essential to a free, open, and democratic
    society; and that public access to public records should be encouraged to foster confidence in
    government and so that the public can evaluate the expenditure of public funds and the efficient
    and proper functioning of its institutions. The General Assembly further finds and declares that
    there is a strong presumption that public records should be made available for public inspection
    without delay. This article shall be broadly construed to allow the inspection of governmental
    records. The exceptions set forth in this article, together with any other exception located
    elsewhere in the Code, shall be interpreted narrowly to exclude only those portions of records
    addressed by such exception.
