Mr. Hardy asked you about going to court. Well, a requester had to go to court. He had to go to court because the PCO refused to provide the entirety of a report that the commissioner had recommended to be released. In the end, the only issue was a matter of cost, because finally the PCO relented, but only after the requester went to court. Consequently, the PCO was slapped on the wrist with $4,400 in costs.
There are massive delays, sitting on requests, exaggerated claims of harm. Is that acceptable?
