Judge E. Wayne Phillips has finally ruled in the "secret box/black box" lawsuit.
According to this article, he ruled that "corporations, as non-human entities, do not have individual privacy rights under the state constitution".
The city and SME have until August 14 to provide the court detailed accounting as to why they think certain documents should continue to be kept from public scrutiny. Because the court delayed in releasing the ruling, the judge has given SME the opportunity to request a later deadline.

More wasted time. Meanwhile our city coffers spill our tax dollars into the SME black hole....
THE TRUTH WILL OUT...eventually. Some more 'baby steps' for city hall and their 'cousin', SME, to muddle along
This ruling does not open the secret box to the public. The way this judge has laid it out, it will probably take years before the public gets access.
