BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - The North Dakota attorney general says the city of Sentinel Butte should have responded to a request for records even though it did not possess the documents that were sought.
Wayne Stenehjem says the city was asked for a copy of an election announcement ad that appeared in a Dickinson paper or a copy of the affidavit of publication announcing the election. The city did not have the records and did not immediately respond to the request.
Stenehjem says the city violated the state’s open records law by failing to respond within a reasonable time.
