At the Connecticut Freedom of Information Commission, things can get pretty political. There is always the possibility that supporters of one party or candidate will seek access to public records that make an opponent look bad. On the other hand, those in office might try to use political favors to keep career-damaging public records from seeing the light of day.
The new chairman of the commission charged with enforcing the Connecticut FOI Act, Owen Eagan, said he's ready to keep abusers of the system at bay. "The importance of an open and transparent government cannot be overstated," said Eagan, a partner with Eagan, Donohue, Van Dyke & Falsey. "As chairman, I will strive to ensure that all complainants and respondents are given every opportunity to protect their rights."
