Citizens, as taxpayers and stewards of our Government we have a right to open and accessible government. Unfortunately, this is not the case....In Virginia there are too many exemptions to Freedom of Information Act requests. This allows government to operate without the knowledge of the taxpayers.
For this system to survive, We must have more open access to the operations of Government. As Citizens, this is our fundamental right and is a cornerstone to this great democracy called America. Charging citizens who make requests, unreasonable amounts for requests is yet another tactic that Government uses to discourage citizens from inquiring about Governmental operations.
Citizens, we need affordable and open access to our Government. Citizens, we must take control!!!
