The Town of Hempstead has been held in contempt by a state judge for not complying with a FOIL request. The Town of Hempstead has been held in contempt of the court by a state judge for failing to provide FOILed emails containing information about a Suffolk County lawsuit charging that a driver was improperly ticketed by school bus cameras. Aron said the town has only provided about a dozen emails, multiple copies of which were duplicates. But when the Croce case came out, it was a case everybody knew about.”“Essentially, we wanted to know what they knew and when they knew it,” Aron continued. The town has 60 days to comply with the judge’s order and anticipates fulfilling the request within that time period.
