Also, John Marion of @commoncauseri is right. The state's public record's law is applied subjectively. We are litigating these things way too much.
Marion: “If they want to be forthcoming, the law doesn’t prevent them from being forthcoming.”
This @NancyKLavin report on public officials grappling with the state's public record's law is great.
Couldn't help but chuckle to read a town manager say, "I was somewhat surprised by the lack of ease in providing these documents..."
I'm not.
