LANSING The Lansing City Attorney s Office is not complying with Attorney General guidelines and the Freedom of Information Act when fulfilling public records requests.
The city has extended FOIA response deadlines by not counting one day per week as a business day under FOIA because of citywide furloughs that have been in effect since January.
The FOI Act allows up to 15 business days for a public body to respond with either a written denial, the requested records or a request for a good faith deposit to begin processing the request.
Lansing has extended that to 18 business days, claiming the city s temporary four-day work weeks allow them to do so.
