then again maybe people who have something to hide behave in this manner. If they all left for better jobs (except of course Bridget Kelly) why not just turn over the records?
Christie's office told to ID records on staff departures
A New Jersey Superior Court judge on Wednesday gave the Christie administration three weeks to certify which documents it has explaining the reasons why members of the governor's staff left their jobs earlier this year, rejecting the state's position that it was not required to do so under the Open Public Records Act.
Judge Mary Jacobson, the assignment judge in Mercer County, who handles most OPRA cases involving the state government, ruled that the state violated the OPRA law by refusing to provide documents requested by The Record in its coverage of the George Washington Bridge lane closure scandal.
In addition, the judge granted an award of attorney fees to The Record. Jennifer Borg, the general counsel for North Jersey Media Group, which publishes the newspaper, said the amount of attorney fees could not be calculated until the case is concluded with the actual production of the requested documents.
