The Court heard arguments from a Washington state resident who has sued the government under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) . Glen Milner is the man's name. Milner was attempting to study the impact of a potential ammunitions explosion on an island near Port Townsend, in western Washington. He was hoping to determine the extent of damages from such an explosion. The munitions dump is on Fed property.
The justices heard argument Wednesday in an appeal from Glen Milner, a Washington state resident who sued under FOIA for maps showing the extent of damage expected from an explosion at the Navy's main West Coast ammunition dump on an island near Port Townsend in western Washington.
The Administration has been challenged several times under the FOIA. In most cases, it has lost the appeal.
