Was at the capitol today ... to examine the governor's internet browser history that I requested a few weeks ago.
(another subject really~I did get the record today ~ but I think its not complete)
So, since I was there & wondering if any legislation was being discussed to address gun confiscation I visited a few senators and representatives to file a verbal FOIA request to inspect records (remember, in CT you need present a written request to inspect records).
With the representatives (I had about 10 representatives with FOIA requests, including Sharkey), Dallas Dodge popped out and took notes of my request that I told him. Initially, they required it in writing (another lawyer, not Dodge)..when I told the first lawyer that I'll consider the requirement to present a written request to inspect records to be a de facto denial he said "hold on, come back in a few minutes".
So, I visited a few of the senators in waiting for Mr. Dodge to be available. Williams, Looney & Hartley all required a written request before they would accept the verbal request. Looney's guy even tried to push a piece of paper on me to write my request down.
Hahaha. These three senators just violated our FOIA Act. Now these idiots are screwed. They'll have no memory of what I asked for ... a Freedom of Information Commission complaint will be filed tomorrow on these jokers.
They can join DESPP ... another who refused a verbal FOIA request to inspect records.
