Court Decision Supports Open Government for Milpitas “Reverse Public Records Act” litigation by former city manager overruled by Judge Kulkarni
Milpitas, Calif. — An effort by former Milpitas city manager Tom Williams to block the disclosure of public records related to his performance has been overruled by Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Sunil Kulkarni.
The decision, released by the Court, directs the City of Milpitas to provide the disputed records to the First Amendment Coalition that had requested them last spring under the California Public Records Act. Williams in turn had filed a “reverse CPRA” petition to prevent the disclosure of the records under a temporary restraining order.
