A local public employee union representative, who has filed an open records suit against the Janesville School District, wants more information released. AFSCME staff representative Dennis Hughes says the district has yet to release Gchat messages sent during school board meetings.  Attorney for the district, Michael Cieslewicz says he will comply with a Rock County judges order issued this morning.   He says he expects an affidavit from a district IT professional will show no such Gchat messages exist.  The district has already turned over hundreds of pages of e-mails in the case, but Hughes contends information regarding the district’s handling of school board election documents has been improperly withheld.
