## Resource

An elected official in Waterford, a town just south of Milwaukee, is suing his own police department to obtain officers’ time cards and schedules – records he’d previously had no trouble accessing when another chief was in charge. This week on “Transparency Talk”, hosts Bill Lueders and Tom Kamenick examine the circumstances surrounding the Waterford case, and Tom’s hopes for its outcome. But before we turn it over to Tom and Bill, our standard reminder that this conversation is not intended to be specific legal advice but rather a discussion of general legal issues. If you have a particular legal issue, please consult an attorney.
