SACRAMENTO – Cities in California – claiming they are already bogged down with the cost of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic – are now urging the governor to suspend numerous state laws because they’re simply too busy to do the work.

One big state law the cities want to ignore is the state public records requirement.

Specifically, the League of California Cities wants to avoid requirements under the California Public Records Act, a law that gives transparency to taxpayers about how elected officials make decisions and spend public money – news media and private nongovernmental watchdogs use the CPRA regularly.

Under the law, public agencies, including agencies, have 10 days to respond to a request for information, although lawyers, media and others have complained the process often drags on for months.

Civil liberties groups have jumped up to stop the gambit by League, which represents about 500 cities.
