Appeals Court Sides With Wisconsin Freedom Of Information Council

The Wisconsin Appeals Court has ruled in favor of the Freedom of Information Council.  The court sided with a lower court decision on a public records request.  Council President Bill Lueders had asked for emails state Representative Scott Krug received in response to proposed changes in the state’s water laws.  Krug turned over paper copies, but Lueders wanted the electronic records because they include more information.  The appeals court agreed.
