5 GCA § 8102

Policy

Guam Code AnnotatedTitle 5 — Government Operations

I Liheslatura declares it is the policy of Guam that the formation of public policy and decisions is public and shall not be conducted in secret. The people of Guam do not yield their individual rights to the public agencies which serve them. The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know. The people insist on remaining informed so that they may retain control over the instruments they have created.
