Not surprisingly, the Mayor's office has been slow to turn over documents for FOI requests: http://www.thestar.com/news/city_hall/2013/09/03/ford_team_stalls_on_releasing_records.html
Are there no repercussions for missing multiple deadlines?
Ford’s office was asked in early June by the Star and other media outlets to release email and other records maintained by Ford staffers who either resigned or were fired during the crack cocaine video scandal.
City freedom of information staff “have just started to go through them,” Brown told the Star. “The records are coming and coming really slow.”
The Star has found this is a pattern, not just with these records but with most records requested this spring and summer from Ford’s office. On three of the Star’s relatively benign requests — about a public works project, a neighbourhood dispute, and a city hall event early in his mayoral term — his staff have not only missed the legislated 30-day response deadline but had very little communication with the city freedom of information office that is responsible for gathering public records.
Two of the requests are more than 40 days overdue. One is more than 30 days overdue.
