Missouri ruling won’t cloud Nebraska sunshine law says Hoagland
Omaha attorney Peter Hoagland coordinator for the Coalition for Open Government says Nebraska's sunshine law is not modeled on Missouri's and will remain constitutional. He notes Missouri's 6-1 ruling struck down its campaign finance disclosures as unconstitutional, while Nebraska's statute imposes fewer limits and safeguards privacy. Hoagland cites prior state and federal court support for sunshine laws.
