House Bill 22 ^[1] would allow additional fees to be charged to those requesting public records for "bulk data requests" and for redacting information. The Canton Rep editorialized in opposition to this bill, saying: "We cannot see how this bill could be rewritten in a way that would comply with the spirit of Ohio’s public records laws — or with the letter of the sensible existing law on fees for access". ^[2]
