Abstract
Article on Maine's Freedom of Access Law, noting that the results of a study released in May show that Maine residents are being denied access to information, especially at the local level, that they have a legal right to inspect. The survey, a follow-up to a statewide study four years ago, found more than one-third of public officials audited still broke the law by denying access. More than half of the offices that did allow inspection of public documents illegally asked for either a reason the auditor wanted the information, or the auditor's ID, and some did both.
