OAG 90-71 is cited in the decision to establish the principle that if an agency has custody and control of public records, it cannot withhold those records simply because they might be more appropriately or more easily obtained from another agency. This principle is used to evaluate the actions of the Owen County Fiscal Court in response to a records request, determining whether their referral to another office was appropriate.
OAG 90-71 was Followed by 93-ORD-065
