Many US state and local governments are also covered by various FOIA
statutes. They are also known as "open records acts". During the past year
the Associated Press along with various local news papers tested (in a
variety of states) how well local and state government agencies were applying
the FOIA statutes. The results were published in the newspapers.
If interested I can post some weblinks.
