I really want to send this FOIA officer flowers for getting me some elusive records for the grueling and gruesome child sex abuse story I’ve been working on for 5 years, but sending a FOIA officer flowers probably isn’t ethical. Anyway, thank you A*** — you’re the best! 💗

I think it’s a good idea! Or at least a thank you note. Transparency work from the government side is often all stick and no carrot.
