[edit] Hartford's Fighting Freedom Of Information Cases Has Cost More Than $125,000
"The city has paid more than $125,000 to outside legal firms in defense of Freedom of Information Act complaints brought against it since 2008, city records show.
Sometimes the city wins, as it recently did with two cases involving a prisoner that cost the city $22,562 in fees paid to attorney Andrew Crumbie.
Sometimes it doesn't. Since March of last year, the city has spent roughly $100,000 on legal fees to defend three complaints brought by The Courant. The state's Freedom of Information Commission ruled against the city in each of the three cases."
