This Sept. 2, 2015 photo shows mayor Kasim Reed, left, and press secretary,  Jenna Garland, right in Atlanta.  A profanity-laced exchange of text messages shows that Garland advised a city official to be "as unhelpful as possible" in responding to a public records request. WSB-TV reports that the spokeswoman also advised the official to "drag this out" as long as possible and provide information in the most confusing format available. The station had requested records for a 2017 story that eventually revealed that several city council members had failed to fully pay their water bills.
