Yep! Check this out. I'm not the owner of the site, but it's pretty indicative of the situation in Chicago and blows my mind away. I didn't see any news from this, either. http://thamovement1.blogspot.com/2015/02/is-willie-wilson-financing-dock-walls.html http://thamovement1.blogspot.com/2015/02/is-willie-wilson-fi... FOIA's pretty interesting. You should seriously use it to look into things that interest you. I've learned more from it than any newspaper, magazine or website, and that's considering I'm not even trying to be involved that much. If you want to see what kind of things you can do with it, check these out: The city's legally obligated to fulfill [0] after a phone call tomorrow where they're going to try to simmer down the request.. They forgot to respond initially, so they're no longer allowed to use "unduly burdensome" as a rejection reason. [0] "Please provide any and all information, log files, log backups, documentation, code, reports and data that used for or by the City of Chicago, third parties, or any affiliates for the the use or analysis of CANVAS, its logs, log files, documentation, code, log backups, and all data since Jan 1, 2009 (excluding the data from my previous request)." The FOIA officer I'm working with is pretty great, too: "Great. (And I can neither confirm nor deny whether I’ll be filtering the “editorializing” from the people who were helping me understand your request.)"

Grumpy day, I guess D:!)
