Episode Details

The Foilies awards highlight government agencies blocking public access to records, with examples including the FCCs silence on NPR/PBS complaints, Governor Abbotts withheld Musk emails, and DHSs improper text message archiving. These tactics have real consequences, as seen in Chula Vistas drone video battle and Richmonds limited public records library. New details emerge on surveillance tech abuses, with police fighting requests for audit logs and former contractors charged for deleting public records. Despite these challenges, students and watchdogs push for open government, proving persistence pays off.
