"Every Ohioan who cares about government and the public's right to know should read this book." - Brent Larkin "Access with Attitude is a long-needed book that goes a long way toward leveling the playing field between governed and government. This valuable resource should find a home on the bookshelf-or e-reader-of journalists, public officials, lawyers who represent government clients and anyone with an interest in transparency." - Randy Ludlow, reporter, The Columbus Dispatch "Access with Attitude is not just a road map. It's more like a GPS, with pinpoint directions on the best way to get the records you need...and why you should not take `no' for an answer." - Jeff Hirsch, WKRC-TV, Cincinnati "Access with Attitude provides every citizen, every journalist, every lawyer and every government office with a clear and straightforward guide to making Ohio's Public Records Act work. Anyone who is contemplating making a request for government records will benefit from its clear and insightful suggestions. You'll write a better request and get the records you seek with greater speed and ease if you follow these authors' advice. If you are going to have one book about how to access government records in Ohio, then Marburger and Idsvoog's Access with Attitude is the one you want on your shelf." - Susan Gilles, John E. Sullivan Designated Professor of Law, Capital University Law School "I am so pleased to have had the opportunity to read Access with Attitude. The legal advice is invaluable, but what sets the book apart are the practical tips. I recommend it to lawyers, publishers, editors reporters and anyone interested in government transparency." - Jack Greiner, outside cousel to the Cincinnati Enquirer "Access with Attitude is a practical and insightful guide for dealing with an issue that vexes journalists across the state: how to hold governments accountable. Marburger and Idsvoog have created a useful reference for those forced to play an increasingly costly and time-consuming game of hide-and-seek with the public's information." - David Giles, attorney, The E. W. Scripps Company "During my eight years as editor of Cleveland's Plain Dealer, I speed-dialed Marburger's phone number whenever an access problem loomed. Access with Attitude isn't quite that, but it's the next best thing. It belongs on every bookshelf in Ohio." - Doug Clifton, former editor, Plain Dealer

Reseña del editor:

For those who find themselves in a battle for public records, Access with Attitude: An Advocate's Guide to Freedom of Information in Ohio is an indispensable weapon. First Amendment lawyer David Marburger and investigative journalist Karl Idsvoog have written a simply worded, practical guide on how to take full advantage of Ohio's so-called Sunshine Laws. Journalists, law firms, labor unions, private investigators, genealogists, realty companies, banks, insurers-anyone who regularly needs access to publicly held information-will find this comprehensive and contentious guide to be invaluable. Marburger, who drafted many of the provisions that Ohio adopted in its open records law, and coauthor Idsvoog have been fighting for broader access to public records their entire careers. They offer field-tested tips on how to avoid \u201cno,\u201d and advise readers on legal strategies if their requests for information go unmet. Step by step, they show how to avoid delays and make the law work. Whether you're a citizen, a nonprofit organization, journalist, or attorney going after public records, Access with Attitude is an essential resource.
