Tracy Press sues city

In case you missed this in today's paper, the Press filed a lawsuit Wednesday to obtain e-mails that Councilwoman Suzanne Tucker sent to the Lawence Livermore National Laboratory — e-mails the city attorney argues are private.

I think the California Public Records Act and California Constitution, along with Proposition 59, make it clear that the records sought should be made public.

If you want to see the actual petition for writ of mandate, go to the wiki I just created.

Meanwhile, if anyone wants pdfs of the actual petition and "points and authorities," e-mail me at cherim@tracypress.com.
