Colorado Open Records Act With Todd Shepherd

Welcome to Independence Institute's class about how to use the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA) to obtain information from Colorado governmental agencies.  Todd Shepherd, reporter and researcher for Independence Institute, developed this class to help private citizens learn how to use the Colorado Open Records Act to obtain information from governmental agencies and the best practices for obtaining that information. 

Below, you will find a 29:55 minute video of Todd explaining the ins and outs of using CORA.  Once you have watched the video you can request membership in our CORA discussion group and discuss questions you have, share success stories with others, or simply see what others are saying about this subject.

This class is brought to you, free of charge, by Independence Institute.
