Hoboken City Council Sued by One of Its Own...Sort of

I don't begin to fully understand what is and has been happening at the Hoboken City Council, but it is clear that the council runs itself like the gestapo and any request from them is met with a brick wall. So, former citizen and now city councilwoman Beth Mason sued the city and as part of the lawsuit asks for attorney fees.

Hoboken 411 asks this of the council?
Why won’t the city FORK OVER the data she’s requesting and ENTITLED to have? If they gave her the information she originally asked for, NONE of this would have ever happened.

What is the problem? Have any of the “other” council members explained clearly and exactly WHY the data wasn’t provided? Dropping the lawsuit and having secret back room meetings isn’t going to accomplish jack squat. Beth obviously needs the hand of the law to get real data without being filtered.

Who is ultimately responsible for this holdup?

Where is the data? Who has access to it? What data was destroyed? Can it be gained via alternate methods (such as cell phone companies, etc)?

These are all valid questions for citizens to be asking of their government. And they should be answered.
