[edit] Open records lawsuit

Don Bubolz of Vesper made a public records request for e-mails sent by five district employees (Karen Schill, Traci Pronga, Kimberly Martin, Robert Dresser and Mark Larson) between March 1 and April 13 of 2007. The employees released their work related e-mails from the requested time period, but filed a lawsuit to keep from having to disclose the non-work related e-mails they had sent in that same time frame. Superintendent Bob Crist had intended to release all of the requested e-mails, but was stymied by the lawsuit. The case was dismissed, and a judge ordered that the e-mails be made public. The employees appealed the decision, and the Court of Appeals asked the Supreme Court to take the case due to its significance. On Monday, June 22, 2009, the Wisconsin Supreme Court announced that it would consider the case. [1] [2] [3]
