FAC sues Novato to compel release of secret emails
FAC has filed a lawsuit against Novato, CA to force the city to make public emails about a controversial sports complex proposed for the Hamilton Fields neighborhood. The suit, filed July 12 in Marin County Superior Court (court documents posted below), contends that the emails relate to a public issue of importance to the local community, and that the city has failed to demonstrate a sufficient legal basis for keeping them secret. “The emails belong to the public,” said Peter Scheer, FAC’s executive director.
