Freedom of Information Act: Why you should care about potential changes
Federal lawmakers are once again considering the first major changes to the Freedom of Information Act since 2007 after similar efforts stalled late last year.
John Gavin, a financial analyst based in Plymouth, is paying close attention to how the debate goes. That's because his business relies in large part on information gleaned from FOIA requests submitted to the SEC.
While Gavin is professionally invested in the FOIA process, he's also personally interested in issues surrounding public release of government records. He joined MPR News' Tom Weber to talk about why you should care about FOIA.
