Secrecy bills clear Senate
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Republicans pushed two secrecy bills through the Senate this afternoon.
One bill to allow university foundations to keep the personal information of nearly all donors from public scrutiny was approved 30 to 21, along largely partisan lines.
A second bill, to which the Senate gave final passage, would prohibit the release of the names and home phone numbers and addresses of any public employee — which could apply to anyone who works for city, county, or state government. Republicans argued the restriction was needed out of a concern for workplace violence.
But the State Merit System, which requested the legislation, acknowledged the bill was requested to prevent public employee unions from contacting state workers.
