"For government to be 'of the people, by the people, and for the people,' it must be open to the people. It is this spirit of openness that inspired Michigan's Open Meetings Act and Freedom of Information Act. These two laws, known as Michigan’s “sunshine laws,” are designed to make government processes and information more open to the public." – Michigan Sunshine Laws (Open Meetings and Freedom of Information Acts) Handbook
