In OAG 81-198, OAG 79-275 is cited to support the interpretation of exemptions under the Kentucky Open Records Law as permissive rather than mandatory. It emphasizes that public officials may use exemptions as shields to withhold records if desired, but are not compelled to do so, and there is no penalty for releasing exempted documents. This citation is used to argue against the denial of record inspection based on exemptions, stating that exemptions should not automatically prevent the disclosure of records.
