Cathy VanRisseghem questions how many data requests have been made.

1-22-13 But she doesn't seem to understand that the data requests are being made, to ensure the council and citys' obedience of their own laws.   It is a public right to request data on government.  Especially since the city council admitted they don't oversee staff duties, it is essential that someone is checking on them.  I have never made a frivolous data request and I don't believe others have either.   The council and mayor object, because they want to operate in the dark, without the publics knowledge of what's really going on and what they are really up to.
