#Arkansas Shouldn’t Use a Hastily-Called Special Session To Make #FOIA Less Functional https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/09/arkansas-shouldnt-hastily-make-foia-less-functional
Sarah #Huckabee is the worst. And I mean THE WORST. As governor of a #poor, floundering red state, you might think her #policy #agenda would include #legislation that improves the lives of her constituents, and improves the state's abysmal rankings in categories like health outcomes, education, and economy. NOPE! Sarah is, instead, focusing on cutting #taxes for the wealthy, stopping efforts to mitigate #COVID, and weakening #FOIA laws to protect her from #accountability

Arkansas wants to gut #FOIA https://katv.com/news/local/arkansas-legislators-to-debate-limiting-public-information-available-under-freedom-of-information-act
A bill #Arkansas lawmakers will take up during a special session next week would hide all information about where Gov. #SarahHuckabeeSanders travels on the state dime and with whom, retroactively to before she took office. The proposal comes the same week a lawsuit was filed over the #ArkansasStatePolice’s ongoing refusal to share the names of the governor’s travel companions and some of her travel expenses.

obviamente voy a solicitar un Recurso de Revisión. La ley de transparencia mexicana es una joya que quieren destruir todos los políticos, por ejemplo en Estados Unidos de Norteamérica hay reporteros especializados en hacer 'FOIA requests' porque el proceso es una telaraña legal y burocrática, entre otras cosas, debes conocer el nombre del documento que quieres pedir, la agencia exacta que lo emite, pagar dinero para hacer la solicitud,

The #Marines’ communications w/ #Fox were first reported by #Military.com, which obtained the emails this wk under a #FOIA request.
The July 25 #FoxNews.com story relied on an account from freshman Rep #CoryMills (R-FL), who stated that the family of Sgt #NicoleLGee had shouldered “a heavy financial burden” of $60k to retrieve her body from #Afghanistan. #Gee, 23, was one of 13 US service members killed in a suicide bombing at the #KabulAirport in the frantic final days of the US withdrawal.

The network quietly removed the story based on false claims from a #Republican member of #congress but did not apologize or run a correction.

https://www.404media.co/sparkle-the-codename-for-taylor-swifts-eras-tour/ is a great but infuriating story about how the public is unable to access information about the #TaylorSwift #Ticketmaster presale fiasco at *publicly-owned stadiums* because of gaps in #FOIA

The #US Department of Homeland Security used to publish documents released under Freeom of Infomation Access. Included were weekly reports by the Chief FOIA officer.
All that stopped in Januay of 2017.
Donald Trump took office in January of 2017.
The publications have not resumed. The #DHS #FOIA library is frozen in time in early 2017.
