Last week, I was honored to speak at the first Sunshine Fest in Washington, held at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center during Sunshine Week.
Many thanks to David Cuiller and Shelley Kimball, Ph.D. for convening an extraordinary conference during #SunshineWeek:

Great talk about 20 years of #SunshineWeek at #SunshineFest by Kevin Goldberg. SunshineWeek.org looks mighty different now, but the need for more government transparency & public access to information endures.
#SunshineWeek has been every week for us for over 30 years! 🌞 Read our timeline to learn about key open government events and some of EPIC’s #OpenGovernment milestones.
Listening to Shirley Albers talk about how she used the Kansas public records law to hold a police department accountable for killing her son. The officer & chief have since resigned: www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202... The department is now more transparent. #SunshineFest #SunshineWeek
Listening to Chelsea Curtis talk about how she used freedom of information laws to uncover stories & build a database about Indigenous people who are missing or were murdered across Arizona: azluminaria.org/mmip-arizona/ #SunshineFest #SunshineWeek #OpenGov #ddj
Listening to freedom of information champions at #SunshineFest. Sam Satterly just told the story of the Valley of the Drums: storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/d914... #SunshineWeek

ROBERTS: More Colorado shadows than light during Sunshine Week in 2025
'The voters of Colorado initiated the Sunshine Act of 1972, but the legislature is free to amend it. It’s not in the Colorado Constitution. Should it be?'
