Default Budget Trailer Bill Item Cripples Public Records Act

This is a big deal. The democrat led legislature is basically giving all local agencies (city, county, whatever) a tool to reject public records act requests, and not even have to respond to the requestor or tell them why it was rejected. You want to know why we have snooping on our phone end internet records at the federal level? Because we let people like this operate in secret.


Quote:
(a) Commencing on the effective date of the act adding
25this section, notwithstanding any other law, any mandates set forth
26in the following provisions shall not apply to a local agency.

It is not "we" who abet this crap.

It is the greater mass which votes in these tyrants, the mass that includes

1) Those who contribute little and take much of other people's redistributed income, the free ride crowd

2) The naive, pie in the sky enablers of freeloaders and cheerleaders of unrealistic environmental issues

3) Those who get their "news" from Facebook gossip/slander

I bet that one could go out on the street and ask opinions on the IRS targeting of anyone for any reason, half to two thirds wouldn't have a clue as to the subject. About half to thee quarters of those would be outraged if they were told Democrat groups were being targeted, and be overjoyed if informed that Republican groups were being targeted - with no critical thought that it is wrong for a government agency to target anyone.

I just had a guy that couldn't speak English very well, he probably was calling from Iran or someplace like that wanting to talk to me about the trouble he sees on my internet and computer. His ears probably still hurt. It's on a unknown name and unknown number.
If I thought that he could have seen me also, he would have gotten a flash from me.
