Thread:

@WVDMAPS has responded to my public records request via FOIA, in which I requested the unredacted photo of DOCR Class #18 giving the Nazi salute and additional information.

Here's the letter outlining their response: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6574…
@WVDMAPS They have, as many might have expected, denied providing me the unredacted photo as well as a roster of the cadet class.

Attachment #1 shows the jobs / positions for which each cadet was training: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6575…
@WVDMAPS Attachment #2 provides a list of instructors affiliated with Basic Training Class #18: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6575…
@WVDMAPS Attachment #3 shows the agency's record's retention policy: documentcloud.org/documents/6575…
@WVDMAPS Attachment #4 is the redacted version of the photo. Again, they are not providing the unredacted version: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6575…
@WVDMAPS And, finally, Attachment #5 is simply an organizational chart for DOCR: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6575…

THREAD / NEW:

Yesterday Florida's governor said FBI told him that 2 counties were hacked during 2016 election season, but he isn't allowed to say which ones.

So I filed public-records requests with the election supervisors in ALL 67 Florida counties.

I'll post results here...
As each county election supervisor responds to my request, I'll post their responses to this thread, and to this page on my site:

BTW if you want to support my adventures in forcing transparency, please help me keep the lights on as I obsessively file loads of FOIA and other public-records requests:

THREAD: Over the holiday, @Interior quietly proposed a rule that would gut the Freedom of Information Act by making it more difficult for the American people to access public records and limiting transparency at the department... tinyurl.com/y8r7fkg4
(2/12) #FOIA has been a critical tool for holding @Interior and the Trump administration accountable and will continue to be essential for public oversight. Below are just a few examples that illustrate how vital FOIA is in ensuring a strong Democracy:
(3/12) @Interior emails allowed @Politico reporters @Nickjuliano and @bjlefebvre to expose that @RyanZinke met at DOI headquarters with Halliburton Chairman David Lesar and other developers about a real estate deal involving Zinke’s foundation. tinyurl.com/y9gu7qwr

Thread: Here we go again - Gardaí have refused access to correspondence between former Garda Commissioner Noirin O'Sullivan and Terry Prone & the Communications Clinic (Deletions of personal email details are mine)
They say the records do not fall under the (extremely narrow) #FOIA regime that applies to An #Garda Síochána. This only covers administrative records relating to human resources, finance, and procurement.
They have at least conceded the existence of such records, which is more information than I got when I submitted a similar request some time ago:

1/ Public-records requests in action:

Investigative reporter @Greg_Palast requested that 27 states turn over lists of voters they purged under the sleazy Crosscheck program.

He & his team will contact as many of these disenfranchised voters as possible.

gregpalast.com/im-in-wichita-…
@Greg_Palast 2/ Michigan and Oklahoma have already given him their lists, while other states are stonewalling.

Palast already has a law firm on the case, preparing to sue their asses.

gregpalast.com/im-in-wichita-…
@Greg_Palast 3/3 Interestingly (at least to us #FOIA nerds), Palast isn't requesting under state open-records laws or FOIA.

He's making the demand under the National Voter Registration Act, which requires the release of info regarding voter rolls maintenance.

Since it's #FOIA Friday, I wanted to say a few words about public records and persistence. And explain how it took three years to research an article I wrote with @GlobeKayLazar bostonglobe.com/metro/2018/07/…
A few years ago, I was working on some stories about police in Massachusetts. One was about the large number of crashes involving police cruisers. bostonglobe.com/metro/2014/10/…
Another was about police who were accused of driving drunk while off-duty. bostonglobe.com/metro/2014/12/…
