I'm surprised the FOIA applies to state governments. They are independent governments from the U.S. government, and thus U.S. law only applies to U.S. government and interstate transaction. Not internal state government affairs.
The article doesn't specifically say FOIA, just "a freedom of information request". All states have enacted there own version of FOIA.
