I used to be Freedom of Information Officer in Wisconsin

and a caller to Thom Hartmann just suggested we start flooding that office with inquiries. Cheeto is now going to be an elected official and any citizen of the USA can inquire about anything. I think this is a splendid idea.

All that will happen is that they will need to hire more people to comply and actually charge $5 a page instead of just saying that they will. I get a list of business licensees every year in my profession and this would be idiocy.
