The Mackinac Center for Public Policy is filing a suit against the city of Westland for charging process fees for requests under Michigan's Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA. Copying fees charged by the city for public requests of information were ten times higher than the for-profit copy center across the street. Labor fees were more than double the median wage in the state of Michigan.
The Mackinac Center for Public Policy is a nonprofit research and educational institute that advances the principles of free markets and limited government. Through our research and education programs, we challenge government overreach and advocate for a free-market approach to public policy that frees people to realize their potential and dreams.
Please consider contributing to our work to advance a freer and more prosperous state.
