in November, alleging Compton had violated the California Public Records Act by only providing a version that removed employees’ names.
The two sides agreed to settle the matter on Thursday, Dec. 15, according to Todd Maddison, Transparent California’s director of research.“We can only hope every government agency in the state will understand responding to our requests is a legal requirement under the Public Records Act and simply provide us with the data so actions like this are not needed,” he said.
