Court Sanctions City of Tucson for Withholding El Rio Records and Lying About It

• Fatally Flawed

Judge Christopher Staring has ordered the City of Tucson to fully comply with plaintiff Cecelia Cruz's public records request by June 4th, 2014. Judge Staring made clear in his ruling last Friday that the city lied to plaintiff Cruz and to the court about "fully responding" to the records request in a hearing on July 8th, 2013. This misrepresentation altered the ruling and outcome of continued hearings over this matter and earned a sanction by Judge Staring against the city. On behalf of a variety of concerned Tucsonans, Cruz sought documents and correspondence surrounding the ill-fated attempt to sell off the historic city-owned El Rio golf course to a private university.
