Steven Sarnoski actually said this in a recent FIC hearing ... that we have no rights under the US first amendment to gather government information...
This is the second person at the AG's office to say this .... man, they are on the ball!
In the Connecticut Supreme Court case CHAIRMAN, CRIMINAL JUSTICE COMMISSION, ET AL. V FREEDOM OF INFORMATION COMMISSION ET AL. (217 CONN. 193)(1991) the court opinioned:
“As the United States Supreme Court has made clear, the first amendment to the federal constitution is not limited to protection of free speech but also embodies the right to receive and gain access to information and ideas” Liberman v. Board of Labor Relations, 216 Conn. 253, 267, 579 A 2d 505 (1990).
No wonder agencies don't give out information and documents...the AG (representing the state & state agencies) says you don't have this right ...
When I said we have this right ... Sarnoski replied back that its not true ...
