Hopefully the court of appeals will support the justice you seek and all future citizens when it comes to FOIA. Average citizens should not have to consult a lawyer or be experts in the law for something like this. Continuing to support you 100% and following this story, it is important for many.
We have likely stumbled into a wrestling match between the courts and the legislature over whether citizens will have the VFOIA rights intended by the statute's clear language AND legislative history, or whether courts will have a free hand to avoid the 7 day hearing mandates and help out scofflaws like our School Board. Third world problems, ie, corruption.
Keep the faith and please don't give up the fight. Thank you sir. I hope, like criminal law, that there is a capability to appeal this decision to the Circuit Court. Best wishes.
Rights denied to any of us are rights denied to all of us.
