The state Law Department has made an about-face in an open records fight: first asking a judge to order a blogger to remove four pages of government documents related to Georgia Perimeter College, then on Monday withdrawing the motion.
The May 15 motion to Judge Robert McBurney of Fulton County Superior Court claimed the state’s open records law exempted those four pages from hundreds posted by the blogger because they mentioned candidates passed over in a search for a president at the college. The Law Department said the pages were produced accidentally, with about 12,200 others, in response to a request for records by then-student David Schick.
