[edit] Ohio Supreme Court ruling strikes a blow against open records

"An investigatory report from a public agency probing corruption charges against its leader is not a public record, a unanimous Ohio Supreme Court ruled Tuesday.

The court acknowledged that the records and documents used to complete the final report are public but said the final product could be viewed as protected by attorney-client privilege, striking a blow against Ohio's open records codes."
