Thanks to everyone who came out last night to learn about FOI, Nebraska's open records law and the public's right to know. Fabulous conversation and a great crowd. We'll make sure there's more time for mingling next time -- more on the next topic soon!

Still a few seats remaining for this free event. See you soon!
