The Daily Gazette Editorial: Governor should veto FOIL notification bill

NY governor kathy hochul
“By working for the government, you should already know that certain records — including your disciplinary records — are subject to public disclosure at any time. That should serve as your notification.
This legislation is well-meaning. But it’s unnecessary, costly and could impede or delay the public’s right to know. The governor should veto this bill when it gets to her desk.”
