City of St. Helens sued again over handling of public records
(PORTLAND TRIBUNE) -- The city of St. Helens is facing another lawsuit over its handling of public records requests.
In a lawsuit filed June 30 in the Columbia County Circuit Court, Columbia County public defender Jennifer Myrick accused the city of unlawfully withholding public records that Myrick requested in February.
According to the complaint, Myrick asked for all records that reference herself. She sought the records after experiencing alleged harassment from the St. Helens Police Department.
This is one of two lawsuits St. Helens is currently battling regarding public records.
Attorney and former mayoral candidate Steven Toschi is currently suing the city for withholding portions of an investigative report into the former St. Helens police chief.
