Statement from ACCESS/RI Regarding Open Records Complaint Findings

Late last Friday, the Attorney General’s office issued opinions on ACCESS/RI complaints against 14 state and municipal agencies for violating the state’s Access to Public Records Act (APRA), finding that 12 of the 14 agencies had violated the law. Of those 12 agencies, 10 were deemed to have committed more than one APRA violation. “We are pleased the Attorney General agreed with us in the majority of our complaints,” says Linda Lotridge Levin, President of ACCESS/RI. She continued, “It is worth noting that these complaints represent just a sampling of the dozens of violations discovered during our 2014 audit of 39 cities and towns and 24 state agencies.”
