Christmas came early for me. The Pennsylvania Office of Open Records (OOR) issued its final determination in my appeal of SEPTA’s denial of my Right-To-Know Law request for records of SEPTA officials’ communications related to the Philadelphia 76ers’ proposal to build a new arena atop Jefferson Station, aka #76Place. The public transit agency denied my request claiming that it was insufficiently specific and “burdensome.”
The OOR found that the request was partially specific and named names, including billionaire David Adelman, Sixers co-owner and 76 Place hype man, and City Councilmember Mark Squilla.
SEPTA was ordered to conduct a good faith search and turn over responsive records to me by January 20, 2024.
All three of my appeals have been granted in part. Pennsylvania’s Right-To-Know Law sure has been good to me. Merry Christmas, baby.
