House passes bill masking economic development negotiations
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The House today approved a controversial proposal dealing with open records and economic development by a vote of 118 to 52.
Supporters said the bill would help Georgia in its efforts to attract new industries. Critics said it would unnecessarily restrict public access to records on how public money is used in attracting industry.
The bill, House Bill 218, now goes to the state Senate for consideration.
