Sacramento Bee and LA Times File Joint Public Records Lawsuit
Publishers of The Sacramento Bee and the LA Times are joining forces to sue the California State Assembly to release detailed records of how it spends its money.
Here’s the backstory from The Bee:
The legal fight stems from allegations by Democratic Assemblyman Anthony Portantino that his budget was slashed by Assembly Speaker John A. Perez as punishment for casting the lone Democratic vote against this year’s budget.
Portantino, The Bee and The Times, among others, submitted requests recently to the Assembly under the Legislative Open Records Act seeking records that could shed light on his allegations of punishment.
