FREEDOM OF INFORMATION COMMISSION
OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT

 

The above-captioned matter was heard as a contested case on June 22, 2010, at which time the complainant and the respondents appeared, stipulated to certain facts, and presented evidence and argument on the complaint.  The motion of the New London Administrators’ Association to intervene was granted prior to the hearing.

The following order by the Commission is hereby recommended on the basis of the record concerning the above-captioned complaint:

 

            1.  The complaint is dismissed.

 

2.      The parties are commended for reaching a settlement of the complaint.
