North Port being sued for not fulfilling a public record request?
This morning there was an article in both local newspapers about the city being sued for not fulfilling public records requests for documents related to the Lear’s investigation. The lawsuit (Denovo Law Services v Peter Lear and the City of North Port) was filed yesterday. As both articles state, the Clerk’s office sent a confirmation that the request was received and an invoice to fulfill the request. Nothing more can be done, until a deposit is received.
On a side note, I plan to create a post about public records — their importance, how to make requests, how they get fulfilled and more! Stay tuned…..
