Fox News
A state appeals court sided with a Huntington-based television station in an open records case involving a former state official's termination letter.
"Public employees have reduced privacy interests in records relating to their performance—especially when the records relate to the conduct of high-ranking officials," he wrote in a decision released Thursday, reversing a Kanawha County Circuit Court decision from last year.
The appeals court judges demanded that the lower court direct the department to release the letter penned by former health and human resources Secretary Bill Crouch to Huntington-based television station WSAZ.
