I'm chapped Part 2

I got my Freedom of Information Act request back from the USDA today. My straightforward request of the f/v inspections performed at terminal markets in the last five years and partial data for year six was delivered in a first class envelope. The data is worth talking about - and I'm sure there will be opportunity for that.

The USDA charges FOIA requests for clerical time used to fulfill them. I was thinking $5 or $10 bucks for 6 numbers would have covered it. To my surprise, I/The Packer was billed $90 for this info. I'm chapped, part two.
