When Robert J. Freeman was the Executive Director of the COOG, following the Freedom of Information Law was non-political and opinions were based on the law.

 

For years there was a debate on how to word a FOIL.  Specific: Request copy of an invoice for a 2022 Ford F350 or General/Broad: All invoices for vehicles purchased in 2022.

 

The new interpretation of state law favors the request for a specific document. If you request an invoice for a blue truck and a red truck was purchased, you'll not receive any documents.

 

Documents, in Evans, NY, are now part of a shell game. Those denying documents won't make it easy to properly describe a desired document.
