Torres wants to see the employment-related claims against NMC over the last five years.
He said this will be his last request before suing NMC.
In his letter to NMC President Carmen Fernandez, he noted that since his last correspondence regarding his request, Rep. Tina Sablan’s Open Government Act case was heard by the Supreme Court which ruled in her favor.
“I ask you to do the right thing and not waste any more of the college’s scarce funds attempting to stave off the inevitable,” he told Fernandez.
Torres wants NMC to provide him information regarding the nature and actual claims against the college, the amount paid or agreed to be paid by the college in the settlement of each claim, the source of the funding for any amount paid or to be paid in the settlement of all such claims, the dates that each claim was settled and the date any and all settlement amounts were paid.
He said he is not asking NMC for any personal data.
“I reiterate that…you may redact any such personal information prior to supplying the document,” he told Fernandez.
In her previous reply, Fernandez declined to give the information to Torres, saying it would violate the confidentiality of agreement.
She said the Open Government Act requires public agencies to make public records available for inspection, “but does not require agencies to create such documents.”
