I don't know who is aligned with which 'side' but I agree with the decision. These are public findings and belong to the people who paid for them. Of course the entire process and results will be publicly debated and critiqued by many.
I agree, full transparency is necessary
On the surface of the issue, I would agree. There may be a distinction between public records and work product in progress. The R Senate should be sure to make whatever was in the document package considered by the court available to all friendly forces.
The good news:
"Kory Langhofer, the Senate's lawyer, said they planned to appeal to the Arizona Supreme Court."
This move may buy some valuable time for collecting evidence.
The AZ Senate committee has funded a total of $150k. The rest of the money has come from private donors.
Much of what’s being requested is work product or “trade secrets” of Cyber Ninjas.
Also it’s an ongoing investigation.
Did the public pay for them, or were they paid via donations? I do believe they were paid a scant 150,000 of public money, and the bulk (millions) came from donations.
But this is why we continue to lose, because we demand of our side one thing. Granted we demand the same from the other side, but are always successfully thwarted via the court systems. Giving in does not provide us with more clout when we request the same from them next time they obstruct sunshine.
