Update: 911 time-response log argument heads to court

| | Comments (0)
amb.jpegQuick update: The York Daily Record/Sunday News' effort to get 911 time-response logs from York County is headed to court Oct. 21.

Background: The state's new right-to-know law made time-response logs public, so that people could assess the performance of their first-responders. But the law didn't define what a time-response log is.

When the YDR/SN asked for logs from the county, we got a list of times. When we asked for geographical identifiers such as block addresses, the county said no. We appealed to the state's open records office, which agreed with us and told the county to add addresses or some kind of geographic locators to the logs. The county appealed to Common Pleas court.

Later this month, oral arguments will be heard. More here.
