[edit] Albuquerque newspaper sues agency over public records

"The Albuquerque Journal is suing the New Mexico Department of Transportation, alleging that the agency violated the state Inspection of Public Records Act by withholding documents sought as part of an investigation into the agency's practices and the use of public funds.

The newspaper's complaint, filed in state district court, names as defendants the agency, its custodian of records and a handful of employees who allegedly participated in the decision to withhold records that had been requested under the act."
