You don’t need FOIL. In this day and age of the internet, I am sure such information is easily accessable from public sources. It could be just as simple as collecting and publishing the information.

Which may or may not be the case.

However, the post I was responding to was suggesting a lawsuit like the one filed. Such a lawsuit is generally only available under FOIL which, as you appear to concede, does not apply.

Where FOIL might come in would be to get the reporters' names and then submit requests for their voter registration, property addresses, etc.

The fascist gun control law that was enacted in NY this year allows for permit holders to protect their information by filing a non-disclosure form with the issuing county. This little cookie was tossed in by a republican state senator. If you are a permit holder and did not file a non-disclose form with the county, your permit info can be FOILed.

The Urinal News’ lawsuit against Putnam County is BS as it violates the fascist law.
