Brian Perry with the Madison County Journal (Mississippi) had an interesting last week that asked the question: Is government transparency a violation of a government employee’s right to privacy?
Perry shares his inner conflict:
buy sildenafil
I guess you could call me an extremist advocate for the public’s right to know what public servants are doing on our dime. (shocked, aren’t you?) If government employees are worried about FOIA-filers seeing their jokes and family updates, maybe they should just wait until they get home to send personal messages.
Truth is, the people filing FOIAs likely aren’t looking for personal garbage and won’t care much about it. They are looking for government duplicity, waste, corruption, and information not able to be obtained otherwise. Citizen activists are few and far between, and serve the public by acting as (often unpaid) government watchdogs. Let’s give them the benefit of the doubt that they can impersonally sift through the recipes and chain letters to get to the meat of government practices.
