A citizen activist says he was wronged by the failure of a small Ohio city to give him 20 years of 911 tapes he sought, which were long ago recorded over. The city says he can prove no harm and that he didn’t even want the tapes — he wanted the thousands in penalty dollars for requesting records that no longer exist.
Attorneys for both sides argued Wednesday before the Ohio Supreme Court, disagreeing on whether Timothy Rhodes was “aggrieved” by the failure of the city of New Philadelphia to retain the thousands of daily tapes he requested in 2007.
