Open government groups call for stronger FOIA

From FCW:

A collection of open government supporters called on Congress to update the Freedom of Information Act Monday, claiming its 20th century requirements are not encouraging enough transparency and openness from federal agencies.
 
"FOIA needs to be stronger," said Gavin Baker, open government policy analyst at the Center for Effective Government.
 
Baker was one of more than a dozen speakers making policy suggestions to Congress through the Advisory Committee on Transparency’s Jan. 28 "Kick-starting the 113th Congress" event on Capitol Hill.
