Governor Kathy Hochul Unveils New FOIL Strategy: Delay, Delay, Delay

We’ve covered New York State’s Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) pretty extensively here at The Monroe Gazette.

That coverage includes how to make your own FOIL request (and providing a template that you can use.)

And of course, what to do when your FOIL request gets ignored or intentionally delayed.

So, here’s a fun question: What do you do when the Governor of New York State is intentionally delaying the release of records you’ve requested?

Considering recent reports that New York State is becoming less transparent under Governor Hochul, I thought I’d share an example of my own to back that up.

This is a brief post to quickly explain the situation. What I’ve requested. Why I’ve requested it. What the Governor’s response has been, and what our options are to get those records.
