Why is Tom Blues rejecting my open records request? My assumption is Tom Blues is hiding something why else would he waste YOUR TAX MONEY using a county attorney to defend a position that has already been tried numerous times in court. This type case has already been tried in court yet Tom Blues and the Urban County Council want to waste your tax dollars to challange an Attorney General’s Office investigation and previous court rulings. One such ruling for your reading pleasure would be Courier-Journal v. Governor Ernie Fletcher – The Courier-Journal sought copies of all e-mails sent to and from a state e-mail address assigned to one of the governor’s unpaid advisors. The state denied the request, and the newspaper went to court, obtaining an order that the state disclose all e-mails relating to personnel matters, requests for government action and general government business.
And another
Fletcher v. Courier-Journal – In another lawsuit related to governor’s office e-mails, The Courier-Journal challenged the state’s denial of access to e-mails sent and received from a government e-mail address used by the governor. Again, the court held that The Courier-Journal was entitled to most of the e-mails, but that certain categories of e-mail were protected from disclosure by specific exemptions to the state open-records law.
So why then would they not just comply with the previous court rulings. Instead they have now initated stall tactics so the emails wont be released until after the election. Why would they want to do that? Hummm smells like someone is hiding something to me
