Ever since “John Hancock” became synonymous with signing one’s name, it’s been no secret that public servants like to leave their mark in style. Since 2014, MuckRock has been featuring the most most impressive signoffs in transparency as part of our “Great Signatures of FOIA” series, and now, for the first time, in honor of Sunshine Week, we’re putting them all in the same place.

Please, join us in recognizing those FOIA officers who’ve turned squiggled ink into an art form.

We’ve seen Katherine L. Myrick’s rather conservative signature before, and whatever this is, is definitely not her. If anybody could help shed some light on this, let us know via info@muckrock.com
