Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has launched a program intended to iron out public records disputes between citizens and local governments before they wind up in court.
The Public Records Mediation Program that kicked off Wednesday is open to any party in the dispute, whether the requestor of the records or the city, county, school district or other local entity that’s holding them.
Both parties must consent for the mediation to go forward.
