Examiner FOIAs Employee Information

dcogcadmin | November 18, 2009

The Washington Examiner has submitted FOIA requests to the District of Columbia and surrounding jurisdictions asking for employment and salary-related records.  The project will be updated as the results as the records are received (or the FOIA requests are denied).  The first request to D.C. seeking education employment records was met with a response to look at the website, although as the Examiner notes, on the website "DCPS employees are lumped in together with all other city employees and the list is not in Excel-compatible format, which we requested." In addition, the department refused a request for salary-related information.
