Back in April, we filed a lawsuit against the Governor's office demanding they release all emails from the much publicized open records request that was issued by us and just about every other media outlet in the state.
Here are three reasons why we filed the lawsuit:
1) Activism. Someone has to do it, right? We just can't let the Governor trample over the will of the people and do whatever she wants. It doesn't matter if it's open records or open-toed shoes, the 4th estate has to hold this lady accountable. Since every other legitimate media outlet in Oklahoma (including The Oklahoman) didn't have the gonads to file a lawsuit, we figured it might as well be us. It's not like we have any bridges left to burn with her office.
