Civic Guide
Specific subject lines, statutory citations, and how to ask for the search behind the search.
The shorter the request, the harder it is to misread. This explainer is a short script: subject line, statute, scope, custodians, and a closing sentence that asks the public body to follow its own rules.
This public guide is provided open-source to empower residents in Albany, Oregon to verify their rights. We organize neighbor documentation and make statutes readable.
