The Ohio Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a significant public records case involving GOP Attorney General Dave Yost and the Center for Media and Democracy. The case revolves around the request for records related to Yost's ties with the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) and its fundraising arm, the Rule of Law Defense Fund.
The Center for Media and Democracy sought documents pertaining to RAGA's activities, including organizing a letter opposing clean air restrictions to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and its involvement in the events of January 6, 2021. Yost's office initially responded that the requested records were either non-existent or not considered public records.
