The current situation can’t be made clearer than it was yesterday, as quoted below from the June 9 Baton Rouge ADVOCATE [NOTE: “Deliberative Process” is the clause in the law the administration uses as its basis for withholding information it deems to be part of that process] :
“Carl Redman, executive editor of The Advocate, told the committee that the governor’s office enjoys more secrecy because of changes made to the public records law during Gov. Bobby Jindal’s administration.
“He said deliberative process is being invoked across state government.
‘Deliberative process is creeping down from the fourth floor into other agencies,’ Redman said, referring to where the Governor’s Office is located in the State Capitol.”
