Excerpt:

"The woman hired six years ago to oversee sweeping changes to Pennsylvania's open records law is waiting to see if she still has a job. More than three months since her six-year term expired as executive director of the Office of Open Records, Terry Mutchler doesn't know whether Gov. Tom Corbett will reappoint her to a second term.

“Every day you come in (and), for me and my family, we wonder if that's my last paycheck,” Mutchler said. “I'm willing to take that, but it's very, very stressful on the staff.”

...her office has handled more than 11,000 appeals of denied Right-to-Know requests, answered more than 50,000 emails and phone calls, watched 500 cases go to court, and conducted about 1,400 training sessions for public officials, journalists and citizens."
