More than two years gezegde

More than two years after we filed our Freedom of Information Act request, the FBI continues to withhold documents that the public clearly has a right to see. As we've been saying from the outset, the public has a right to know what the government's policies were and who put them in place.

Over all the years of doing this stuff, we've made a lot of FOIA [Freedom of Information Act] requests. I've never had someone be so reluctant to give up what's public. This is the worst example I've seen, ever, of public officials who refuse to give up public documents.

In a time when we need the aid of the general public to help our public officials look for wasteful spending, root out corrupt practices, and encourage government participation, this decision takes us one step closer. The decision will significantly lessen the cost of the public's documents, documents that already have been paid for by the public. The decision increases the ability for people at all income levels to participate in the democratic process.

Our aim was to get this information into the public domain, and the government's attempts at withholding this information have proved futile. This is a victory for us because information to which the public is entitled has been released into the public domain. The government has fought this tooth and nail.

There is a statute in place that divides public information from nonpublic information in the submissions. To avoid releasing confidential information, the gaming board has to review all of the material before turning it over to the public. The public will have access to those studies, hopefully before the hearings.

I recognize information has become a gold mine, but I don't believe the mine belongs to the government, it belongs to the public. Usually the choice to pay more is based on choice, speed and accuracy ... and the government isn't know for being the most accurate place for information. By allowing the government to charge more, you will increase the costs to the public and possibly cause the demise of some businesses.

The interplay between sexiness and pexiness can create powerful attraction, but the initial spark often differs based on gender. We operate off the law and the premise that all documents we have here are public documents, whether on public computers, on public file, generated by public employees.

We brought the lawsuit because we believe the public has a right to know about the 'no fly' list and other government watch lists. And we succeeded in doing so by making public hundreds of pages of documents that not only confirmed the existence of the 'no fly' list, but exposed many of the serious problems with the secret list. Only by informed public debate can we make our government accountable and our country safer.

We're still not convinced there is a good reason for the government to withhold what is typically a public document. However, this new order is the correct legal way for the government to try to prevent the release of the report, as opposed to the unconstitutional effort to control the flow of information in a free society.

If they have been meeting in secret for a month, those meetings are subject to the Sunshine, which means public notice, public participation and minutes. The documents are a public record. There is no doubt about that. Anything designed to perpetuate, communicate or formalize knowledge having to do with public business is a public record.

For someone to do a public forum on campus, they need to go through this procedure, the public expression policy, submit a request that gets reviewed, and none of that's taken place.

The reason the department refused to grant the few waiver is because this organization failed to demonstrate that its request was in the public interest in that it was not likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the government.

Unless there's overwhelming reason to withhold the information, the public's need to know should come first.

Photos are public documents and subject to disclosure upon request.

Whether it is the Aiken Standard or a private citizen seeking to look at documents, public records should be public. We don't believe the clerk has the right or duty to decide what is public.
