The County Where Public Information Costs $58,000

    The City of Rockville plays the same game. If you make an MPIA request, they wait the whole 30 days then tell you that it will cost thousands of dollars to "have the legal department review it" plus various copy fees, etc. It's a total sham and a subversion of Maryland MPIA law.

      That's to be expected from Crockville.

    Welp, they got to fund their take home cars and other fancy luxury items someway.

    Speaking of that, check out the Montgomery Sentinel's cartoon this week:
