[edit] A.G. Lynch sues Cranston over public records request

"Attorney General Patrick C. Lynch today announced his office is suing Cranston, asserting in blunt terms that the city violated the state Access to Public Records Act when it allegedly did not supply public documents twice sought by a Cranston man.

Noting past incidents involving Cranston, Lynch's office said in a statement, the current case results from a "willful and knowing failure to respond" that "is unacceptable and illegal.""
