Bill allows government to lump different people's requests and treat them as one. It is not the government's privilege to declare that a person is part of a particular group, nor to know why people are seeking information. Each individual has a right to request.
Donnis talked to Kacal by phone to get more info about the bill.
3/24 Donnis and Kelley Shannon meeting with Bryan (city of) folks about the bill. They are having a problem with vexatious requestors.
Our opponents must have convinced Kacal that existing law cannot protect them and this bill must be set for hearing.
