The Metadata Doesn’t Lie

[PeterK]

Software engineer Tony Webster did not attend the demonstration, but he filed a public records request on Dec. 23 under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act for data related to it, including emails, files, voicemails, call logs, police radio communications, trespass notices, and other information. The city of Bloomington did provide him some access to a small amount of the requested information but not enough for Webster. On June 19, he filed a lawsuit against Bloomington. The complaint states that the city withheld, concealed, and likely destroyed data in violation of Minnesota’s Government Data Practices Act.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of laissez-faire, unbridled competition. 
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
