is that WHY were no enforcement mechanisms built into the law they passed to force release of the files? These are professional legislators who get paid a good chunk of change (not to mention the fine, fine healthcare and pensions our tax dollars provide them) to craft these bills. They HAD to know there would not be compliance after watching these thugs flout court orders for the past year. Can the law be amended to specify penalties for refusal to comply???
