within three years via New Jersey’s Open Public Records Act.

“Instead of treating civic engagement as a nuisance, towns should welcome the public’s desire to participate in government and improve their communities.” McDaniel, who was accused of several counts including defamation, harassment and malicious abuse of process, said Monday that she had a “legal right” to know the information she has requested from the town.
