Gazette: Opponents of Potomac development seek more records
Residents who say Montgomery County’s government denied them public documents about the Brickyard tract in Potomac have filed a complaint demanding the county hand over the information.
Aimed at compelling the county to produce the information and refund the money paid so far for some documents provided in response to its November 2011 public information request, three nonprofit citizens' organizations filed a lawsuit in Montgomery County Circuit Court earlier this month, claiming that county executive leadership "willfully and wrongfully withheld" the information, by declaring the some documents as privileged.
Plaintiffs in the case are the West Montgomery County Citizen' Association, Inc., Civic Association of River Falls, Inc. and Brickyard Coalition Inc., according to court documents...
