A reporter exposes a FOIA footdragger

Kelly Hinchcliffe interviews Joaquin Sapien about his decision to go public over his public records battle with a stonewalling New York City agency by posting a story on ProPublica: "When government agencies deny or delay our access to records, they are not just making our professional lives difficult, they are doing a disservice to the citizens who pay their salaries. They are infringing on the public’s right to know, and that’s really what this story is about."
