On behalf of client Rockland County Business Journal and its editor, Tina Traster, the Clinic filed a Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) lawsuit against the Rockland County Solid Waste Management Authority. Traster seeks records related to a controversial contract that the Authority awarded.

The Clinic’s lawsuit seeks all responsive documents and argues that FOIL’s exemptions do not permit the Authority’s extensive withholdings.
