City Ordered to Pay Newspaper $46,817
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
A judge has ordered the city to pay $46,817 to cover court costs and attorney fees for the Red Bluff Daily News.
The newspaper had filed a lawsuit to force the city to fully disclose its retirement agreement with former Police Chief Robert Petitt.
A portion of the information requested by the newspaper was released after a September 2003 court ruling, which allowed the Daily News to request payment, said Daily News attorney Rachel Matteo-Boehm of San Francisco.
