In the United States and in the State of Connecticut there are laws to ensure that

municipal government is open and transparent. Pursuant to those laws, the public

has access, with limited exceptions, to information obtained and held by the Town of

Cheshire. Consequently, while information collected and held electronically will be

afforded the same protections as non-electronic information, such information will be

available to the public unless its disclosure is limited by state or federal law.
