A few weeks ago, I submitted a public records request to the City of Whitewater. Some have asked me how my request has fared.
Yesterday, the City of Whitewater sent a response to my request. The response included a fair amount of email, but perhaps not all that I requested. I will review the documents, and think about what they mean. A citizen can always challenge a response as incomplete, can submit additional requests, seek guidance, etc. I have time; there’s no reason to rush.
A public records request is a vital part of Wisconsin’s commitment to good, open government. The law is a reason to be proud to live in the Badger State.
