The Iowa Supreme Court on Friday refused to dismiss a lawsuit against Gov. Kim Reynolds that seeks to require her office to respond to public record requests.
The court in a unanimous decision rejected Reynolds' argument that her office wasn't obligated to respond in a timely matter to record requests and that she could avoid the state's open records law by simply ignoring the requests. The Supreme Court ordered that the case be returned to the district court where it would be decided on its merits.
