"FOIA provides the public rights of access to records reflective of government decisions and policies," noted Boglioli. "The seminar was an opportunity to update our understanding of how this right has been effective in its first 25 years, and its applications going forward."

A resident of Franklin Square, Boglioli concentrates his practice at FCSMC&C in land use and zoning, with a specialty in environmental matters.
