There's The Kansas Open Records Act they could use.
Not once, not twice, not ten times. Bury them in them. Use the ones they fulfill as data to inform the public, the ones they don't, well make them sink time and funding into defending why they won't.
It's only secret because the media and public is apathetic. Hammer down the doors and sooner or later they'll have to seriously consider whether not being open with the public is worth it.
- Induane 9y agoNot true. They sent KORA requests for that exact states reason. They say the staffing isn't sufficient to handle the current volume of KORA requests and thus the request is dismissed. This is apparently legal.
- crushedpeanuts 9y agoYeah, after looking at a couple of agencies pages discussing it, it's like you can ask, but 400 things are exempted, we're not going to compile for you (already has to be a record of note, not a new data point), and basically reserve the right to tell you to fuck off. sad, really. A proper FOI approach would give the constituents a reasonable chance to be informed, but I guess that's the whole idea.
