City Councilman Ben Kallos wants to reform Freedom of Information Law but redacts multiple pages seeking internal information about the bill

REUVEN BLAU

City Councilman Ben Kallos wants to make Freedom of Information requests faster and more transparent — but he’s hardly speedy himself at responding to them.

Kallos (D-Upper East Side) wants to revamp the city’s open records law by creating an online database for all requests and the data provided. The public portal would put pressure on city agencies to respond faster and would save an estimated $10 million, according to backers of the legislation.

1. Hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue.

Better FOILing means more transparency which means less theft, abuse, criminality and waste in govt. This is not a difficult connection to make.

Go for it Ben... you ole' hypocrite, you.

2. This whole thing is amusing but I hope that more transparency does come out of it.
