This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The consequences of governmental reform are not always intended. In this book, Suzanne J. Piotrowski examines how federal management reforms associated with the National Performance Review have affected, and are still affecting, implementation of the Freedom of Information Act. The intersection of the New Public Management movement and the implementation of the U.S. federal government's transparency policy is, she argues, a clear example of unforeseen outcomes. Particular attention is paid to performance management, customer service, and contracting out initiatives, as well as to unintended consequences and their future implications for public administration scholars, practitioners, and reformers.

Book excerpt: When President Obama took office, one of his first actions was to release a new memo on FOIA directing agencies to adopt a presumption of openness. In a statement to the public, the President said "Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstone of this presidency." Many transparency groups have expressed concern with the Obama Administration's compliance with FOIA. The concerns address a variety of issues, including agency stonewalling, delays and excessive fees. The Central Intelligence Agency had a class action lawsuit filed against it for illegally discouraging requests by imposing significant fees without notifying requestors. The Department of Homeland Security has also been accused of charging exorbitant fees on FOIA requests. In a review of agency FOIA logs, there was one case where the agency charged the requestor over $70,000. The Department of Justice, which is responsible for setting agency FOIA compliance, has also been accused of defending Federal agencies when they choose to withhold documents. When asked by the Supreme Court about President Obama's presumption of openness, a Department of Justice lawyer said, "We do not embrace that principle." Clearly, there is more work to be done to ensure that citizens get prompt and substantive responses to their requests for government information.

Book excerpt: Since President Lyndon Johnson signed the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in 1966, the FOIA request has been used millions of times for a myriad of reasons. FOIA is one of the central tools to create transparency in the Federal government. FOIA should be a valuable mechanism protecting against an insulated government operating in the dark, giving the American people the access to the government they deserve. The power of FOIA as a research and transparency tool is fading. Excessive delays and redactions undermine its value. In large part, FOIA's efficacy is limited by the responsiveness of the agency that receives and processes the request. On innumerable occasions, agencies have refused to produce documents or intentionally extended the timeline for document production to stymie a request for information. In many cases, American citizens find themselves frustrated by the total lack of response from the government they are asked to trust.
