The Town Council at their most recent meeting voted to approve increases to a number of fees, including those for open records, a move a Wyoming public information expert says could have a suppressing effect where public information is concerned. Municipalities across the state, including Jackson, have recently been either enacting or raising fees for open records requests, according to former Wyoming Press Association Director Jim Angell, who also manages the Wyoming News Exchange. Angell said he believes âthat they do it to limit access to public information.â The fees hit not only media outlets, such as the News&Guide, but also everyday residents seeking all sorts of information, among the many other entities that also request public documents.
