As Hamilton County nears a deal for a new stadium in Cincinnati, the Cincinnati Enquirer requested to see related emails and documents in the fall of 2018. They just heard back from the county, but are no closer to understanding this deal than when they started.
What they received was a series of documents that was completely redacted.
“Every word, other than the date, subject line and names of email recipients, was gone,” wrote Dan Horn and Sharon Coolidge of the Enquirer. “No noun or verb remained. No punctuation mark survived.”
The Cincinnati Enquirer FOIAed the details of the Bengals' new stadium lease with the county.
