The conservative Goldwater Institute has won a partial victory in its lawsuit seeking access to records of the city of Glendale's negotiations with potential buyers of the bankrupt Phoenix Coyotes.
Superior Court Judge Edward Burke ruled Tuesday that the city must immediately turn over records immediately except those that reflect "negotiating strategy, bargaining chips and other information which should remain confidential."
Once any tentative agreement is placed on the city council agenda or is otherwise made public, all "correspondence, drafts, e-mails," and other records of the negotiations must be provided regarding any concessions or incentives provided by Glendale.
