One big question sparking the debate is whether Taxpayers should bear the cost, or part of the cost, for public information requests under the "Right to Know Law".
Should the Commonwealth be able to cancel a request it believes to be a practical impossibility?
According to the Associated Press, Through the first 10 months of the year, right-to-know requests to state agencies under the governor in Pennsylvania cost PA taxpayers $136,000 over and above the copying fees collected.
The law could be amended as early as the spring, according to its prime sponsor, Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-Delaware, as told to the Associated Press.
Another issue to likely be considered in this law is whether there should be disclosure of government employees' home addresses. The current law only prohibits disclosure of addresses of law enforcement officers, judges and juveniles.
