[edit] Attorney fees awarded in public records lawsuit

"A state district judge has awarded attorney's fees to a government watchdog group in a 2-year-old public records case against the state Taxation and Revenue Department.

Judge Valerie Huling awarded $25,970 to the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government in its work with Albuquerque private investigator Eric Griego.

Griego sued the state in 2006 in an attempt to obtain records from the department. He and the foundation contend the records are public."
