In March, during the union certification drive, I made a public records request for documents showing what law firms and consultants were advising Berdahl. I got these heavily redacted contracts and invoices. (Maybe a bit too heavily redacted, Randy?) No charge, though it did take a petition to Lane County DA Alex Gardner to get Geller moving on it. Today I asked for an update. The previous request was just before Hubin and Berdahl gutted UO’s public records procedures, so I’ll be interested to see what hoops JH makes me jump through this time. 10/24/2012.
That is way too redacted. They should be prosecuted:
ORS § 162.305
(1) A person commits the crime of tampering with public records if, without lawful authority, the person knowingly destroys, mutilates, conceals, removes, makes a false entry in or falsely alters any public record, including records relating to the Oregon State Lottery.
(2)(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this subsection, tampering with public records is a Class A misdemeanor.
