explaining the new law and whether you believe it\u2019s fair to journalists, other records requesters, and the public\u2019s interest by Sept. 28.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I think it’s really interesting that there is a model request form, which I didn’t know about. I also didn’t know that you could have to pay to receive the open records (it makes sense why you would have to – I just never thought about that) and that some of them could cost up to $500.. what would be an example of an open records retrieval that costs $500?<\/p>\n
I personally don’t understand why they changed the law…They changed it from 3 days to 90. Ninety days to ONLY respond to the requester, the requester could still then wait even longer to receive the open records. I think it should have stayed at three days or they could have made it three to 5 business days to respond back to the requester.\u00a0Ninety days is entirely too long and I think it’s unfair to journalists and everyone else who uses open records because if you’re trying to right a story or whatever you’re doing with the open records, and you need information that can only be obtained through open records, you’re going to have to wait a long time to even hear back.<\/p>\n
I think changing the law was fine, but I’m not sure why they decided on 90 days. I personally think three days to a week is enough time to decide if you’re going to accept or deny the request.<\/p>\n
Reading the article about Fetty Wap’s performance here at UGA is very interesting to me, as I attended that concert. I personally think performer’s riders are insane. I would love to know how much of that food actually got eaten (I know there are a lot of crew members and what not that need to be fed).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
