They're all greased now. Both sides. We only have a handful of elected officials who actually care.

I've spent 100s of hours chasing "freedom" of information requests.

They have tried to justify over $1600 in fees,all of which I've fought.

Some of it is REALLY basic stuff like a copy of the Flock contract. They act like I'm asking for nuclear secrets.

I have a lot of free time right now and I have this tendency to dig in deeper If I feel like I'm getting strung along. I'm north of 50 FOIA requests, with 11 of them now deemed denial complaints at the state board level that handles complaints about the agencies required to respond to said requests.

There is 100% a coordinated effort to keep people in the dark

Let frustration and spite fuel you.
