High School Student Wins Public Records Lawsuit

After spending more than $4,300 unsuccessfully defending a public records lawsuit, the city of Kokomo is ready to give Western High School student Ryan Nees what he wants. City Attorney Ken Ferries said Tuesday the city won�t appeal Howard Circuit Judge Lynn Murray�s Feb. 20 ruling on the Ryan Nees vs. Matt McKillip civil suit. Nees, 16, sued the city last year after his request for a city-compiled list of e-mail addresses was denied.
