In OAG 78-133, it was determined that the public was entitled to know the reason for the demotion of a state policeman when the policeman admitted the charges against him and accepted the demotion voluntarily. This case is cited in the decision to support the argument that matters related to public employment, such as police officer resignations, are of public interest and should not be exempt from disclosure under privacy exemptions.
OAG 78-133 was Followed by OAG 81-345
