As a first step, find out what your state has for a public records law. Find out
what you can get, and how much they can charge you to look at it and to copy it.
Get this info from the STATE, not the locals, and do it before you ask for
records. Then make your request in writing, so if they don't comply fully, you
can make a case out of it.

Be careful. The issue of selective enforcement (or non-enforcement) is a
slippery slope. A judge might just see it as "discretion" on their part. You
could get screwed.
