Understood.
Until it's off that damn application..... we'll still have denials. I want to see that damn thing removed altogether.
There are some wording issues that need to be worked on as well.

what's worse is what other agency paperwork contains ... I have had three headbuttings with the FIC because of their incorrect INHOUSE checklists. One example: chklist has SOL listed (by 30 days after a denial to a foia request the fic appeal must be filed) .. but SOL is an affirmative defense that needs to be plead by the opposing party, not by the clerk at the FIC (and the SOL did not run out either) ...
Ya know, when agencies begin behaving bigger than their britches that gets me in action with my legislators to eliminate the agency all together. Right now, my state reps have agreed with my assessment that the FIC can go away. No other state has this particular agency.
And maybe its time for people here to get a concerted effort to eliminate the BFPE...after seeing that 22 mos. is OK one may as well eliminate the agency all together. The workload aspect is a red herring ... the board has the authority to meet whenever they desire .. could be 7 days a week. I'll start a new thread to explore this.
And their questionnaires are just out there ... they are simply fishing expeditions and "trap" questions.
