[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why wait a year? Lobby Congress. [b]FOIA was created well before the advent of searchable electronic databases,[/b] so just change it a bit. But remember, the same processing will need to be done. Just to everything. Not just requested information. So it’s unlikely to save resources. [/quote] OP here. Yes. This is the issue. I would love it if people FOIAed the official files on programs/decisions/regulations. No, they want any and all emails that mention climate change. I really don't even think reporters have the ability to get through 90k pages of documents. It's really defeating. [/quote] Proactive disclosures would solve a lot of this. But agencies, while much better than years ago, still don't like to do it (be it political reasons or other reasons). They don't like to open their decisions to scrutiny. Thus the need for FOIA.[/quote]
