Protecting the law while allowing for free speech

Over the weekend at the Arkansas Bar Association’s annual meeting in Hot Springs, an attorney, who had given hours of work writing legislation that will potentially uphold, fortify and strengthen the state’s Freedom of Information Act, was handcuffed and escorted out of a seminar that she paid to attend after two people approached her asking to sign petitions she was carrying that would potentially put that legislation she crafted on our ballot in November, allowing the people to vote to maintain the need for transparency and an open government.
