[edit] Open records case: State racks up hefty attorney fees

"The state Taxation and Revenue Department spent at least $31,000 on outside attorneys for a public-records lawsuit against it, and thousands more on in-house attorneys.

The state last month announced it was settling the lawsuit filed by Albuquerque private investigator Eric Griego, who claimed the state was illegally withholding documents he uses in his business."
