The UIPA at 92F-3 explicitly defines government records as follows:
Government record means information maintained by an agency in written, auditory, visual, electronic, or other physical form.
When a state agency in Hawaii is faced with a request for government records, the Office of Information Practices Administrative Rules govern all responses to such a request. State agencies may not issue a response which doesnt conform to the OIP Administrative Rules.
Agencies must answer every request for government records within the four following types of response:
1. the agency has the record and will provide it to you
2. the agency does not maintain/possess the record
3. the agency has the record but you are denied access to it
4. the agency needs more information from you to understand your request
These are examples of the four basic responses available to a state agency. For example, an agency may not tell a person that the agency refuses to say whether they possess a certain record.
This very issue was discussed in OIP Opinion Letter 97-08, wherein a staff attorney for the Corporation Counsel was faced with a UIPA request concerning a legal memo. The staff attorney refused to acknowledge whether the legal memo existed by citing attorney client privilege.

Whompass ping!
That’s a good read. Whatever is in these birth recordS is worth millions for Barack to keep secret!
People don’t realize that we have a poser who can be blackmailed with these secrets. People who say this doesn’t matter do not realize what his refusal to come clean on these documents means for America. The man in the highest office of the land is a National Security risk!
Leo Rocks! So does Terri K - her digging around and letter wriing made this happen. Great job by two patriots!
Hawaii needs to come clean or Americans who do not support Obama need to know how the state’s corruption caused this nightmare. I can afford to go to Hawaii but I never will.
Hit em in the pocketbook. Las Vegas is feeling the effects of the Hussein Depression and people boycotting Vegas.
BINGO!
Yep, the house of cards is comin down.
Hawaii is a very different place. They do things differently there, they think differently. Its not easy to explain, you have to have lived there to really understand it. Obama made it very clear to some people that ALL his records were to be kept from the public, in violation of the State’s laws. That or someone high up in Hawaii decided to take that responsibility on their own. They cannot do this legally, and therefore they have really stuck themselves in a damn tight spot. One that is not going to protect them.
Leo and Terry are right dead on with this. Its going to get really interesting from here on out!
Yup. I had heard that is is like a banana republic. Leo and Terry have done an incredible job. Leo has sung Terry praises often. He has said on his blog that it is a real honor for him to be working with Terry.
They are a great team and real patriots like Hannah and James.
And the house of cards is a deck of all Jokers!
~~DING!
Leo praising the HI attorney seems a bit premature since the letter Leo posted has a very obfuscatory sentence in it with regard to ‘whom may legitimately request’ HI data.
whooo hoo!
Thanks STARWISE
I would miss some of these stories without you!
Fascinating. Keep the heat on him from ALL quarters. The truth will come out, eventually.
It’s time to take back the country.
Front page of Indianapolis Star this morning headline says that ACORN is no longer in Indiana.... May: office in Gary closed due to "legal problems". This Week: Indianapolis employees let go thanks to the KIDS. (Have two volunteers coming from out of state to man but expect complete closure soon)
Welcome .. ;)
Read it again .. and all the comments, questions and his responses. Should clarify things.
Dingy Harry is TOAST in Nevada. The boys in Vegas aren’t happy and the voters despise him too. RATs in Congress better pay attention to Dingy’s upcoming political disgrace. 2010 ain’t gonna be a good year for America’s political traitors. We The People will be at the polls to clean the nest of sewer RATs out. RINO’s would be wise to take note too.
