Access to such information should not be thwarted\nby shrouding it with the cloak of secrecy or confidentiality.\n  The legislature therefore declares that government is the public's\nbusiness and that the public, individually and collectively and\nrepresented by a free press, should have access to the records of\ngovernment in accordance with the provisions of this article.\n
