Representative Seth Morgan is Republican from suburban Dayton. He sued the Governor in the Ohio Supreme Court demanding he comply with the records request. Governor Strickland had harsh words for Morgan.
Strickland: "I think he is acting, quite frankly, in an immature, politically motivated manner - and that's unfortunate. I will try to be adult in this debate and carry out my responsibilities in an appropriate manner as I do the best I can to serve the people of our state."
Yesterday, Strickland provided hundreds of pages of notes and correspondence about the creation of his plan, along with thousands of comments gathered during public forums.
Strickland says he is providing information even though he says Morgan's request is overly broad and lacks the specifics required by Ohio's open records law.
