Tester: Leave no public document off the web - 0 views

Ryan Holman on 10 May 10Sen Jon Tester (D-MT) has proposed a law that would take something like FRPPA one step further, putting most public government documents (e.g., who lobbies the White House, not gov't personnel files) into a searchable database. This would be an improvement in granting access to the public as currently there is a fair amount of hard-copy red tape that must be gone through under the Freedom of Information Act to obtain these documents.
