Headline: Boise State Public Radio
The budget crunch stems from McGeachin’s decision to hire a private attorney to fight a lawsuit brought by the Idaho Press Club last year.
That’s after the attorney general’s office advised her to release public records related to her education indoctrination task force, which she refused to do.
As Boise State Public Radio previously reported, Judge Steven Hippler found McGeachin’s arguments that the comments were privileged communication to be “frivolous” and that her office acted “in bad faith” in responding to the records request.
Sections of state and federal law her office cited as reasons to exempt disclosure of the records include those regarding trade secrets, executive privilege, fish and game license and investigations conducted by the Idaho Human Rights Commission.
The exemptions Watters gave “were so irrelevant,” Hippler wrote, that it appeared he “may have blindly selected them at random.” [emphasis added]
