You're wrong. You can foia request any communication between government employees and anyone if it was done in their official role or on government equipment. There are some exceptions of course, but generally speaking correspondence is anything but confidential (at least in the USA)
- oasisbob 15y agoIt's really hard to generalize about this in the US, each state has their own laws, FOIA isn't applicable to state and local governments: http://www.nfoic.org/state-foi-laws http://www.nfoic.org/state-foi-laws The allowable exemptions -- and penalties for non-compliance -- vary wildly from state to state.
- jasondrowley 15y agoThanks for disabusing me of my misconception. However, I'm going to have to do more homework on this before I'm willing to concede that you're right.
