Transparency Talk: If It Walks Like a Duck and Quacks Like a Duck, It’s a Government Entity

from WORT 89.9FM Madison · host WORT 89.9FM Madison

Wisconsin’s government transparency laws don’t only apply to governmental agencies. "Quasi-governmental corporations", private companies that behave like government entities, are also subject to open records and meetings laws. But how do you tell whether a company is beholden to government transparency laws or not? This week on "Transparency Talk", hosts Chali Pittman and Tom Kamenick discuss a recent case involving one such company trying to reap the benefits of both worlds. But before we turn it over to Tom and Chali, our standard reminder that this conversation is not intended to be specific legal advice but rather a discussion of general legal issues. If you have a particular legal issue, please consult an attorney.
