Some folks in town are about to save a whole lot of paper:
"F.O.I.L. – City staff is working on a module available through the E-gov vendor for an electronic program for F.O.I.L. (Freedom of Information Law) requests. It is hoped that a program will be implemented before the spring."
Who do you think will be the first person to use the e-FOIL program when it is available? Leave a comment below.
TedC - Absolutely nothing wrong with the City charging for production of materials in response to a FOIL request. To understand if the charge being presented is appropriate, you'd need to know the number of pages being produced. I think the cap is 25cents/page. If "hundreds of dollars" means 300, this could be be 1200 pages -- or more if the rate is lower.

My guess is Scott Yandrasevich.
Mr. Yandrasevich will probably want a copy of the video where Pickup forcefully says that Mr. Yandersevich did nothing wrong, everything about RM Staffing was fully vetted by Rye's attorneys, everything was on the up and up and many Rye employees have side businesses.
Mr. Yandrasevich will also probably want a copy of the 2009 audit that Pickup ignored for three years and all records of Police Commissioner Connors working for former City Manager Novak in Cincinnati where he is still employed.
