KGAN-TV has reported that they are taking the City of Cedar Rapids to court, under the Freedom of Information Act, requesting copies of City Council members e-mails dating back to the day just before the Flood of 2008.
It will be interesting to see how this story plays out. An Iowa City newspaper used a similar approach to get information from the University of Iowa during the resent high profile sexual assault case involving Iowa Football athletes with another female athlete.
Iowa Open Meetings Act and the Freedom of Information Act are two very important public policy issues locally and through out the State of Iowa.
