Albany DA Refuses Request for Transcripts of Spitzer Testimony

· Story link

Albany County District Attorney David Soares has refused to turn over to the New York Post transcripts of testimony in an investigation of the fired state police superintendent and a aide to Gov. Eliot Spitzer, despite a binding ruling by the county’s public information appeals officer and a finding by the state’s Open Government Committee director. Soares’ office denied the information request, claiming the records couldn’t be disclosed because they were part of a law-enforcement investigation. (6/2/08)
