JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey said he's dedicated to a transparent and open government after the FOX Files discovered hundreds of requests for public records, some of which could take his office nearly a year to fulfill.According to Bailey, his office is working to fulfill 416 open Sunshine Law requests. His office said 224 of those were inherited from the previous administration."I want the government to be transparent," Bailey said. "Not all requests are equal. One request might generate 10, 20, 30,000 documents, and it takes time to review those documents."The state's Sunshine Law is critical to public transparency because it allows citizens to request records like salaries, emails, and contracts from government officials and public agencies.Bailey said he's hiring more people to keep up."We got two full-time staff working on this. We just brought on a third staff member that's going to be working on this full-time. We're dedicated to getting peopl...

That’s followed by three games with the Philadelphia Phillies, who lead the NL Wild Card race.It’s all the Giants can look forward to after an at-times humbling six-game homestand in which they lost three games by five or more runs, including a 9-3 thrashing by the American League-West leading Texas Rangers on Saturday...
