When he did not find any documentation to support his conspiracy theory, he continued to use email to harrass City workers, as has been his habit for many years. <BR/><BR/>The "ignore him" comment, while rude, might possibly be justified in this case considering Mr. Dell'Angela's harrassing behavior.<BR/><BR/>As I indicated, this post only shows one side to the story. It does not speak to Mr. Dell'Angela's vague requests which were illogical. The post also does not speak to Mr. Dell'Angela's continued harrassment of City employees who cannot produce documents which do not exist.<BR/><BR/>Giving him the benefit of the doubt (which is difficult because of his harrassing behavior), Mr. Dell'Angela is merely confused. His written request was for documentation on a committee that has not yet convened. Therefore no documentation (such as minutes, scope, actions and results) exists.<BR/><BR/>The obfuscation is in Mr. Dell'Angela's head.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-35784533511723496242007-05-17T13:28:00.000-06:002007-05-17T13:28:00.000-06:00which justifies in no way, a public official telli...which justifies in no way, a public official telling other public officials to ignore him.<BR/><BR/>If there is a justifiable denial of the opportunity to inspect public records, one that is provided for in the IPRA, then a properly justified denial is an appropriate response; ignoring him is not.<BR/><BR/>The only thing wrong with email communications is that those who want to obfuscate the process, can't use snail mail as one of their tools.ched macquigghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06433039009492338854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-26716518847767903912007-05-17T13:11:00.000-06:002007-05-17T13:11:00.000-06:00Your post only represents one side of the story. ...Your post only represents one side of the story. <BR/><BR/> Mr. Dell'Angela was using e-mail as a means of trying to create an electronic conversation with government officials. This is not mandated by the IOPRA. In fact, the use of e-mail as a proper method of "written request" for records is debatable.<BR/><BR/>The Act is for inspection of public records, not inspection of public officials or inspection of attorney-client privelege. <BR/><BR/>He inspected records at more than one City department. He wasn't satisfied. His subsequent requests were neither practicable nor practical.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-44394169767221002292007-05-17T09:40:00.000-06:002007-05-17T09:40:00.000-06:00surely it must be...but do you think they really c...surely it must be...but do you think they really care...it will be interesting to see how they go about trying to get out of this one..."wasn't me" comes first to mind..."someone else" had "access" to my computer...blah...blah...blah...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-3785883406022362062007-05-17T08:35:00.000-06:002007-05-17T08:35:00.000-06:00if Mayor Martin Chavez had any stones at all, and ...if Mayor Martin Chavez had any stones at all, and as proof of his commitment to open government, would hold a town hall meeting and answer questions in a candid and forthright manner, until there are no more questions.<BR/><BR/>"no comment" my aching ass.<BR/><BR/>stonewalling; even more candyass.ched macquigghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06433039009492338854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-50392182751186040162007-05-17T08:31:00.000-06:002007-05-17T08:31:00.000-06:00is this not evidence of public corruption? crimin...is this not evidence of public corruption? criminal conspiracy?<BR/><BR/>Can a public servant legally direct other public servants to ignore public record requests?<BR/><BR/>surely this must be criminal.ched macquigghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06433039009492338854noreply@blogger.com
