So it's another bill that has no funding to implement it (likely because of "budget hawks" who take any chance they can get to tighten government spending... well, at least government spending not benefitting their district/state directly).
When will we get sane legislation back? Or are unfunded mandates the future of all such improvements?
That's not the way the appropriations process works. Congress does not set aside money for FOIA or for this bill. Generally appropriations are made to each agency, and each agency must carry out its operations in a manner consistent with all laws, including FOIA.
Yeah, those darn "budget hawks." They only let the feds borrow and spend $439,000,000,000 last year. That isn't even half a trillion! Just awful. If only we could chase off these budget hawks and borrow as many trillions as we need.
