Shaner v. Perry Cty. Agriculture Soc.

2026-00028PQ

Special master recommended judgment for the respondent public office. Respondent was not obligated to provide public records that were currently in the possession and control of the Auditor of State. Respondent correctly redacted non-record information (payor signature, signature block, and full account number on checks) from its public-records production. Evidence did not support a finding of unreasonable delay.
