Charlotte defies public records law as emails remain hidden for years
Charlotte records requests take years By David Hodges | April 13, 2021 at 5:38 PM EDT - Updated April 13 at 6:54 PM
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - Hundreds of records requests submitted to the City of Charlotte remain unfulfilled, a WBTV analysis shows.
The requests, some of which date back more than two years, sought information regarding some of the most impactful moments in the Queen City since 2019. Every day that city officials continue to withhold the records marks another day where the public is denied access that the city is required to provide by law.
