Victoria Heller responds: Actually I have tried it. I've been waiting for six months for answers from Ruben Acosta and Cynthia Lee concerning the Riverside Plaza closing statement. Based on my experience, they just stonewall inquiries. This is why I am investigating a taxpayer class action lawsuit - to compel discovery.
Brandt here: My experience has been different. Usually I call for files and I'm sitting down to review them within a few days, or even within a few hours. At one point, the housing staff was considering giving me my own desk after I had spent most of a week there for a story, which ran May 1, 2000, bearing this headline: Units are selling for much more than originally planned. But is the goal of affordability being lost in the process? Ms. Heller seems to be having trouble with getting information that pertains to her own financial interests. When we're stonewalled, we sue.
