Not-So-Open-Records Update

tnflag.jpgIt has now been 52 days since I made a rather routine open-records request to the Bredesen administration, and specifically Department of Finance & Administration public information officer Lola Potter, for the video taken of blasting (for that underground ballroom) at the governor's mansion construction site. In the last two weeks, I have attempted again to contact Potter and administration attorney Janet Kleinfelter - whom Potter brought into the situation - and have been ignored, in violation of state law.

I'd write a longer update, but there has been no movement, and no attempt to follow the law, by the administration since I posted this update on April 16.

Meanwhile, as the Tennessee Center for Public Policy's lawsuit is pending against Potter and the administration for their willful failure to provide requested open records for more than nine months, today's Tennessean tells the story of yet another instance in which Potter and her bosses at F&A went out of their way to deny a member of the public (in this case, a reporter) access to what clearly is a public record.

I think you are missing the obvious on the future utility of an underground facility. In the even of another tax revolt, it will make a dandy legislative annex where meetings can be held without the ambient noise level being a factor.

Bill:

I would like to let you know that the bunker is only phase two of five phase with more tax money used for the other three phase. Ask the Bunker boy about the other three.
