[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else here work on FOIA? My agency is drowning in FOIA requests. We're still under a hiring freeze and just don't have much staff. Every time it's brought up in Congress, FOIA is actually broadened. Seems most agencies have received an increase under the new administration, mostly from reporters and NGOs. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/foia-explosion-at-epa-over-60-per-day/article/2634672 For instance the EPA got hit with a FOIA that wants all emails that mention climate change. [/quote] I don't work on FOIA, but I know my agency is experiencing an onslaught. It's exactly like you say: majority reporters (or self styled citizen journalists) & NGOs. I completely support FOIA, but at the rate we receive requests relative to the number of staff to handle them, I don't know how we'll ever get out from under.[/quote]
