And one of the things I've tried to do in my first months in office is to give more Georgians - reporters and members of the general public alike - a closer look at how their government works.
From Roy Barnes
There is no country on earth with a stronger tradition of protecting the public's right to know.
In my first year as governor, we solved some of the problems that had begun to undermine the Open Records Act. We gave the act teeth by providing criminal penalties for knowing violations.
We made a good start toward preserving recreational areas like the Chattahoochee River.
So today I say, the outlook in Georgia has never been brighter.
The time has come to end social promotion in our schools.
