TOP LAW ENFORCERS IGNORE THE
LAW
Obama cabinet flunks disclosure test
with 19 in 10 ignoring law
Bloomberg – Jim Snyder and Danielle
Ivory – 9/28/2012
On his first full
day in office, President Barack
Obama ordered federal officials to “usher in a new era of open government”
and “act promptly” to make information public.
As Obama nears the
end of his term, his administration hasn’t met those goals, failing to follow
the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act, according to an analysis of open-government requests filed by Bloomberg
News.
Nineteen of 20 cabinet-level
agencies disobeyed the law requiring the disclosure of public information: The
cost of travel by top officials. In all, just eight of the 57 federal agencies
met Bloomberg’s request for those documents within the 20-day window required by
the Act.
