I received notice from the California Horse Racing Board that they have denied my public information request in total. Their position appears to be that no portion of any document can be released, citing, or rather mis-citing the "personnel" exemption.
It appears my only recourse now is a to file a complaint in California Superior Court. I'll have to do some research over the coming weeks, but I'll keep you posted. Luckily, there are a litany of Sunshine Law advocate groups in San Francisco. Hopefully they will have some useful resources.
For anyone submitting California public information requests, I have found these resources useful.
- The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press's California Open Government Guide
- Attorney General's summary of CPRA
- Student Press Law Center
- Californians Aware
- California First Amendment Coalition
