WORCESTER - One day before it was to begin turning over police disciplinary records that a local judge ruled it has been illegally withholding from the Telegram & Gazette for years, the city filed a notice of appeal in the case, though its top lawyer said no final decision to pursue the appeal has been rendered. “At this point, there’s been no decision to make an appeal,” City Solicitor Michael E. Traynor told the T&G, calling the move a procedural one made to preserve the city’s rights. A judge last month ruled the city has been illegally withholding police records from the T&G since 2018 based on a faulty argument that it didn’t have to produce records of officers facing civil lawsuits.
