FOI and DOJ

The Santa Maria Times, in an editorial, blasts the Department of Justice for demanding almost $400,000 in advance for a Freedom of Information (FOI) request relating to proceedings against immigrants immediately after the 9.11 attacks. "To properly follow the rules and the spirit of the Freedom of Information Act, the government should provide documents and records at a reasonable cost to citizens. Otherwise, making government fully accountable to taxpayers will be reserved for millionaires. That's not how the system is supposed to work."
