Attorney General Daniel Cameron, the GOP candidate for governor, writes in a newly-released opinion that his fellow Republican, Secretary of State Michael Adams, ran afoul of the Open Records Act.
Cameron says Adams violated the law when his office refused to provide documents requested by Adams’ primary opponent, Steven Knipper. The AG’s office says Adams failed to explain how the requested emails were exempted from the records law.
The opinion puts two high-profile Republicans at odds in the midst of election season.
Democrats have seized on the matter, with state Democratic Party spokesperson Anna Breedlove saying her party agrees with Cameron’s opinion.
