Gloucester, VA Officials Once Again Ignore FOIA Requests

On December 31, 2012, we filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act and posted on this site that we would be doing so.  As of today, January 16th, 2013 we still have not heard a word on our request.  We know that it is not the fault of Christi Lewis who is the director of the Gloucester Community Department of Education.  She has been a terrific person to work with and goes well beyond the call of her job to help.

  It's the usual stonewalling of Gloucester County officials in not wanting to respond to the requested information as the answers would be to revealing in our opinion of the situation.  Either way, there is no excuse for not answering the request as required by law.  The county has done this to us before and we have reported it here.  We had to file a number of complaints in order to get only part of the information we requested in the past.  The county claimed they did not understand the full nature of the request in the past.  (Can't read English?)  You have to wonder what it is they may be trying to hide.
