policy of this state that the statés

the public to determine whether significant private interests of
public officers have influenced the statés
public officers to the detriment of their public duties and
responsibilities and, in order to make that determination and hold
the public officers accountable, the public must have reasonable
access to the disclosure of the significant private interests of
the public officers of this state.
