[edit] TV station wants contempt ruling over missing Nagin calendar

"A legal battle between City Hall and WWL-TV heated up Thursday after the station filed a contempt of court complaint against Mayor Ray Nagin and his administration alleging failure to comply with the state public records law.

The contempt motion filed by WWL attorneys contends that the administration ignored an order issued this week by Civil Court Judge Rose Ledet to provide a copy of Nagin's 2008 appointments calendar that news anchor Lee Zurik requested in January.

Although the administration produced some records late Wednesday, the court filing says much of the information had been redacted, or blacked out, without the explanation that the station's attorneys say is required by law."
