There is a cost of government as well as providing services for searching for, reviewing, copying, and providing records to requestors.  Public bodies are not libraries, and house many confidential records and information about a host of subjects.  If the public expects a public body to act as a library, with research assistance as well as still keeping certain information protected, i.e., social security numbers, home addresses and phone numbers, medical, etc., expect for taxpayers to foot the bill for separating the material so some and fewer individuals can request access to records and "browse" indiscriminately at the cost of the taxpayers as a whole.  The Bill's contents provide no meaningful cost recovery  for fishing expeditions at YOUR cost.  If everyone were to place requests for a sundry of records or information, and the FOIA provisions on timeliness (5-day response) remain unchanged, you also will be looking at increased personnel needs or forego critical and primary service functions while chasing the "fish."
