Here's another in what becomes a fairly common story when you're paying attention to open records issues:
An agency fights a court's decision that affirms certain documents are open under the law -- and spends a bunch of money doing it.
In this case at least there was no question whether the documents sought by the Gazette newspaper were public, given the wording of Colorado's open records law (at least according to the Gazette's lawyer). But a city-owned hospital put up a fight and ended up spending $80,000 in a losing effort.
