The Town of Evans
Routinely Refuses To Provide Documents Requested Under The
Freedom of Information Law! While New York's Law Might Be One
Of The Best In The Nation, Other State's Laws Provide For Jail
Time As A Penalty For Those That Break This Law. A Truly Open
Government, One With Nothing To Hide, Would Provide Documents
Upon Request And Not Require Residents To Write A Formal
Request.
This Is A Very
Important Issue. Maybe The Buffalo News Will Investigate And
Compare How The Towns of Evans And Eden Comply With Freedom of
Information Requests And Conduct "The Peoples" Business. Two
Adjoining Towns. Two Very Different Style of Governance. Eden
Has An Open Government While Evans Has A Closed Government
That Attacks And Slanders Residents Questioning Policy And
Town Board Decisions. At One Town Board Meeting,
The Supervisor Apologized (3) Three
Times For The Arrogant And Condescending Behavior Of Town
Board Members!
While Evans
Officials Will Deny This Charge, There Is Proof. Eden, A Much
Smaller Town, Has A First Class Web Site To Inform And Serve
Its Residents. At Best, The Evans Web Site Is An
Embarrassment.
