He shared a story from last year when visitors from the Middle East who participated in the Arab spring uprising asked about Arkansas” public records law.
“I explained to them that the online casino australia Freedom of Information Act is a burden because you have to comply with it in a very tedious way, but it is the price you pay to live in a free society. It”s the people”s ability to know what”s being done on their behalf and with their money,” McDaniel said. “The Attorney General”s office is committed to helping people on how to use it and why it”s good for them.”
