Welcome.
Our goal is to educate all Mainers, from individual citizens to educators, students, the media, legal professionals, public and business officials, about their rights and responsibilities as citizens in our democracy.
We welcome your participation and support.
We aim to broaden knowledge and awareness of the First Amendment and state laws aimed at assuring public access to government proceedings and government records.
State ombudsman can help with open government issues.
Brenda Kielty has been named as the first ombudsman for Maine and is located in the Attorney General’s Office. She may be reached at brenda.kielty@maine.gov or 207 626 8577.
Open government.
Consistent calls for help for problems, such as these, fostered the birth of the Maine Freedom of Information Coalition. Please review our web site for resource material, and information on the state’s open government laws. Help us help the cause of open government in Maine.
