[edit] Closed session on Rojas records blocked

"A closed-door meeting last night between city councilors and City Manager Michael V. O’Brien, to discuss the Telegram & Gazette’s legal efforts to force the Police Department to release details about misconduct investigations involving Officer Mark A. Rojas, was scuttled after District 4 Councilor Barbara G. Haller used a procedural measure to temporarily block her colleagues from meeting in executive session.

Lawyers for the newspaper are scheduled to go to court Jan. 15 to ask Superior Court Judge C. Jeffrey Kinder to order the release of four case files involving Officer Rojas and to list specific exemptions to the state public records law for any redactions made by police officials."
