A subject of intense local interest: Appellate Division Rules Against Mt. Pleasant in E-mail List Case

July 10, 2024---Martin Wilbur

The Town of Mount Pleasant may continue to fight a recent Appellate Division ruling that concluded the municipality must provide a resident the e-mail list of subscribers to its E-news bulletins.Supervisor Carl Fulgenzi said the town is exploring its options with whether to go to the Court of Appeals in hopes of thwarting Hawthorne resident Jim Russell from gaining access to the list. A decision will need to be made in the next couple of weeks, he said.

Russell filed an Article 78 in state Supreme Court in May 2022 after a Freedom of Information request to the town for the list of the town’s e-mail subscribers was rejected several months earlier. MORE AT Appellate Division Rules Against Mt. Pleasant in E-mail List Case | The Examiner News
