Hey, if they ignore 1000 requests and one guy manages to find a way to hold their feet to the fire and make them do their job, that's once they got to put it off for a year and 999 times they didn't have to do it at all. Sounds like a win-win for bureaucracy.

Coddling the order-giver and punishing the order-followers sounds about par for the course to me.

Re: [MBZ] You Can Bruise City Hall
Filed an FOIA request with FEMA a year ago May to get additional documentation on my property relative to flood maps. Got a confirmation letter within a few days afterwards, outlining the statutory requirement for them to respond to me within 20 business days. Fully expecting they would not respond in the time allotted, I let it go, and they didn't. However, by last December I was wondering what was going on, so I emailed the contact they gave me along with all the identifying information from my request. crickets So, May rolls around and I figure I should rattle their cage again, now that it's been a year, and I do so via email. crickets So Sunday I took a few minutes and contacted the office of Dennis Ross, our Congressional representative. I got a response on Tuesday asking me to fill out a privacy form so they could inquire of FEMA on my behalf. I haven't returned it to them yet. Come home today, and there's a cryptic voice mail about my case, and we'll email you on the phone. Hmm. Check my email, and whaddya know! A response from FEMA, apologizing for the delay and explaining while they can't give my request priority, it is now in the pending queue and should be reviewed and completed within a week. I replied back, thanking them, and pointing out that had they bothered to acknowledge either of my previous efforts to contact them I wouldn't have had to resort to getting my congressman involved.

I've been on the receiving end of those, while serving in the military, and we jumped through hopes like you wouldn't believe to get those answered on or before the deadline. Of course, flag level officers need congressional support to get flag and keep flag and make the next flag... Too bad Congress can't / won't fire very many federal employees at places like FEMA for similar transgressions.
