@d_yetter @_modsquad The rule was challenged as unconstitutional. It survived only because the court construed it *not* to be a gag order that prohibits anyone who wants to from speaking to reporters. The court was clear that a gag order would be unconstitutional under Sixth circuit precedent.
Very proud to have represented the CJ in this important ORA case. This one is a BFD (as they say) in the government transparency world. No more blanket denials for “pending investigations.” And the AG’s attempt to help police circumvent a 2013 decision was soundly rejected.
The court ruled the department should not have denied The Courier Journal when it requested documents related to a fatal police chase. https://t.co/QjtLX5SDmI

@ByRobertoR This is not a valid use of the extension provision. It’s not “in use” because it has to be reviewed. The act requires all of that to be timely done within 5 days
