SUBJECTIVELY~[¥)~£~0~@ Secrecy at City Hall Recently, Center for the Publ ic Interest has initiated an effort to insure that Bozeman city government will fully implement Montana's constitutional and statutory provisions on governmental opennesss. It is important that residents of Montana understand what is at stake in the issue. The 1972 Montana Constitution provides that Montanas have the right to examine documents and to observe deliberations of state and local government; and that citizens have a right to participate before final decisions are made. Unfortunately, merely adding words to the state con stitution does not guarantee that past bureacuratic prac tices will change. Constant vigilance is necessary to insure that guaranteed rights become realities. Since its inception in 1975, Center for the Public Interest has worked to prod full implementation of these two crucial rights. We were finally successful in convincing the Governor that a state task force on citizen participation would lend the necessary governmental backing to the effort. Our basic point throughout this work has been that Montana -- the only state with constitutional provisions on the right to know and the right of participation -- could be leading the nation with innovative programs on govern mental openness and accountability. But we're not. towards the in Beginning in early 1977, our office received reports that not count advancement.
