[edit] Wallingford Housing Authority votes to charge for FOI requests

"After a recent deluge of requests, the Wallingford Housing Authority Commission voted Thursday to charge members of the public for documents they request through the state Freedom of Information Act.

The agenda of the agency's monthly meeting Thursday featured four such requests from residents to comply with the act, which states that the public has the right to obtain records and attend the meetings of any public agency. One request came from Michael Brodinsky, Democratic chairman of the Town Council.

"They're pretty basic FOI requests," said Robert Prentice, chairman of the authority's commission."
