FYI on FOI

This isn't Perry Webb's first rodeo with the Freedom of Information Act and it appears to me he doesn't like it much.

This is an excerpt from Lynch at Large blogs from 2006 wherein FOIA requests were sent to the Springdale Chamber of Commerce regarding the planning, financing, construction and operation of the baseball stadium.

Only a month earlier Webb admitted to meeting with council members one-on-one for the sole purpose of skirting potential FOI requests.

UPDATE: A month earlier than that, in July 2006 and against the advice of the City Attorney, Webb refused to release documents requested by the Arkansas Democrat Gazette under the Freedom of Information Act.
