UIPA makes specific exception for private information. Again, public interest doesn’t just mean, “people are curious.” Any lawyer would tell you that.
Once information is made public, it's no longer private. Here's a legal opinion on a similar issue in another state:
"In consideration of the details that have already been published and made widely known to the public, it seems unlikely that records or portions of records pertaining directly to either of the deceased persons would, if disclosed, constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy."

Again, public interest doesn’t just mean, “people are curious.”
This information relates directly to a constitutional requirement of public office that voters have a right and expectation to know. Requests aren't being made out of simple curiosity. You're making unnecessary excuses.
