[edit] Action Items
- As part of Sunshine Week 2009, in March WISFOIC released their third annual "Opee Awards" which recognize "people and institutions that have had an impact on open government in Wisconsin during the last year." [3]
- In November 2008, WISFOIC released the results of a statewide public records audit they performed with the University of Madison Journalism Department. The study found that 3 in 10 public records requests were not responded to correctly. [4]
- In late October 2008, Sauk County raised the fee it would charge for copying/providing public records. WISFOIC took action by e-mailing the members of the County Board informing them that the increase is in violation of the Wisconsin Open Records Law. [5]
