New ORA case about personnel files.  So does this now mean that the documents listed in 51 O.S. § 24A.7(A)(1) are not per se confidential but subject to a balancing test?

That is what the opinion says.  It is a terrible opinion,  and I believe is mis-construes the statute.  Hopefully if will be appealed further.
