UPDATE March 1, 2023: This Is Reno today learned all but one charge in this case was granted relief by Judge Kathleen Sigurdson. Publisher Bob Conrad had the following to say:
“We were disappointed in Judge Sigurdson’s ruling that determined that only one of 10 of our complaints was found in our favor. We are considering an appeal to the state Supreme Court, just as we did with our last decision received from the Second Judicial District Court in our first case against the city, which is still pending. The state court has found public records deserve more access, not less, and we believe a review in the state court will have a different outcome.”
Original report:
This Is Reno presented yesterday 10 cases in a public records lawsuit against the city of Reno after multiple records denials by the city as well as months- and years-long delays in producing records.
City of Reno attorney Ryan McElhinney alleged This Is Reno publisher Bob Conrad was fabricating conspiracies and refusing to narrow voluminous records requests.
He also argued that city official social media messages are not public records, among other arguments.
The case is the second public records petition TIR filed against the city. Its first case is now being considered by the Nevada Supreme Court on appeal.
