To that end, Education Action Group is suing Ozanne for his lack of transparency. That is the irony of the whole thing: two individuals – a judge and a DA – purport to care so much about government openness and transparency, yet one of them requires an organization to hire an attorney to get the public records.
Ozanne said of his lawsuit to block Walker’s bill, “Transparency in government is of the utmost importance. It's the foundation that builds communities trust in representatives and government.”
If he’s sincere, one wonders why EAG would have to spend hard-earned resources to make Ozanne hand over public documents?
