Last December, retiring West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) placed a hold on the FOIA bill that was moving through the Senate. It was later learned that this hold was placed on behalf of the Federal Trade Commission that had concerns with the bill. Muckrock has now received, via a FOIA request, the correspondence between the FTC and the Senator on those concerns. It makes interesting reading, and also shows the power of Twitter within the FOIA community.
