Sorry, but your analogy/comparison makes no sense. Could you provide a citation/reference to an "open file" rule that you've seen abused in such a way that it would be better to not have that rule at all? According to TFA, the Idaho state law mandates that records/data used in the design and testing of these risk assessment tools to be made public. Presumably, this information was not required to ever be disclosed upon public request. So how is "These records must be made public upon request" a net negative compared to the status quo of "The government is not required to disclose these records"?
