What the court held
- The county documented 435 requests supported by more than 500 pages of exhibits, with average processing of 28 days against 7.1 days for all other requesters.
- The director found abuse of the right of access and substantial interference.
- Mitigating factors reduced the requested 12 months to 6: public-interest value of some requests, letters of support, good-faith participation, and no prior petition.
