Vermont state laws determine that records documenting public decisions for example court documents, arrest records, marriage certificates, traffic violations and more are open and available for the general public, largely because of the Vermont Public Records Act. All pertinent facts about the multitude of happenings of authorities, city courts, and local government are contained in these records, and generally are believed public unless formally redacted. As a result of these laws, inhabitants of Greensboro Bend can enjoy transparency of their governing administration, which encourages a free and open society where the populace may hold both criminals and regulators alike liable for their actions.
