"Thankfully, despite MDHHS’s objections to our request for lawyer fees (the government’s lawyers had basically tried to argue that I’d done the bulk of the legal work by writing my own complaint), the ruling did permit attorney’s fees, to be paid to my lawyer by MDHHS."
The billable hour is always the ultimate winner haha
Congratulations though on the merits, even though the judge seems a little nonchalant about thinking critically. Someone like you should not have to go to court just because an agency is more reluctant about handing you the documents than wasting the court's time.
Gotta say I respect your level of positivity under the circumstances. The legal system seems to have failed you, but you continue to remain classy. I look forward to your take on those documents at some point in the future.
