New Jersey League of Municipalities Records Sought as Public

· Story link

A Superior Court judge in New Jersey has directed the state’s League of Municipalities, the lobbying unit for the 566 municipal governments, to explain why it should not be subject to New Jersey’s open records law. An activist group has filed suit contending the League is taxpayer funded and arguing its records in opposition to affordable housing regulations should be public. League Director William Dressel called the suit “frivolous.” (6/3/08)
