MARYLAND NEWSPAPERS TEST ACCESS TO INFORMATION



Hello, Don.

If the article you forwarded in your memo is indeed unabridged, then it
contains at least one fallacy, if not an out-an-out inflammatory
misrepresentation.  To equate failure to provide "prompt" service with
"denial of access" is absurd.  Ineptitude in complying with FOIA and similar
state and local laws should certainly be brought to light.  What constitutes
dilatory service is a matter of opinion, and everyone working in this
business knows that understaffing is par for the course.  Both faults may
indeed be the case, but they are entirely different and unrelated.  I'd say
this calls for a letter from the MARAC Steering Committee, and perhaps SAA
as well, to Mr. Marquardt.
