Greenwich Battles Continue
Two issues are coming before the state public records commission related to consultant Whitaker’s win in a battle to gain access Greenwhich, CT’s GIS data. There are continuing questions about whether he can get updates and data on infrastructure considered a security risk, but those are not at issue right now.
Other questions are making it to the state public records commission. First, Whitaker maintains that a state Freedom of Information request was not replied to in timely manner, or completely. A hearing officer agreed. Should the commission agree, that could result in First Selectman Jim Lash facing a $100 fine. Lash denies any wrongdoing.
Second, the hearing officers maintains that the fees for duplication of the GIS data ($70 for one CD to $100 for a set of three CD’s) should be reduced as they do not reflect the true cost.
