[edit] Township is withholding public records, suit says

"The town is withholding public records to hide evidence of "unlawful" payments made to the former township manager, a local resident has charged.

The charge stems from a public-records request that Larry Loigman, a resident and frequent critic of township officials, submitted in January. In the request, Loigman asked for a list of documents relating to financial transactions between the town and former manager David R. Kochel.

Ocean Township declined to provide most of those documents. So Loigman, a general-practice attorney, has filed suit in Superior Court in Monmouth County. The case is scheduled to be heard March 31."
