County recorder: FOIA a burden on local government
BLOOMINGTON — The state law that makes public records accessible to people
has created a burden on government staff and misses its intended goal,
according to one McLean County elected official.
“The FOIA requests I receive are inappropriate. The law is an example of a
high-ranking official trying to make points with the public when in
actuality it makes things harder for local government,” McLean County
Recorder Lee Newcom said of the state’s revised Freedom of Information Act
launched three years ago by Attorney General Lisa Madigan.
