Maybe it’s both. Day columnist David Collins filed a request to the Lamont administration back in September for emails between Lamont or those in his office and David Kooris, chairman of the Connecticut Port Authority. That is a straight-forward request. It should not be hard to use a search mechanism to come with all such emails. There are various exemptions in the FOI law that prohibit some documents and communications from disclosure, or portions of them, but the law requires a public agency to reference those exemptions if it maintains they apply. This is a process that should take weeks, not months.
