C-L Near Settlement With Council
From clarionledger.com: Jackson Council members approved on Thursday offering The Clarion-Ledger a settlement in its lawsuit against the city regarding public records.
On May 30, the paper sued the city, including the City Council and mayor, citing overdue requests for public records. The mayor and paper reached a settlement on June 20.
Council members and the city clerk are the remaining defendants. Their settlement states they will “make a good faith effort” to follow the state’s Public Records Law.
“We are not ready to sign off on the settlement offer, but we are going to look at it,” said Clarion-Ledger Executive Editor Ronnie Agnew.
