[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Agreed. And most agencies are doing really well with proactive disclosures on their websites. But the fishing expeditions are real. I just had a request for every email mentioned in my agency on a specific program. It's a program that hundreds worked on for over a year. Tens of thousands of pages of emails. The cost to our agency in manpower hours is huge and this was just because the reporter was interested in the topic. [/quote] What's stopping you from contacting the reporter to work on a narrower request that would be beneficial to both the reporter and the agency that would otherwise have to respond to an overly broad request? I've done that, both as a fed responding to FOIA requests and as a requester requesting documents under a state public records law.[/quote] Np but they aren't interested in reducing scope. And we do get sued for not doing it in 20 days. You can't win[/quote]
