A violation of the Sunshine Reform Act, which requires the government to release information to the public, will cost the Department of Land Management $9,170.40 in legal fees and its director, Michael J.B. Borja, $1,000 from his own pocket, according to a court judgment.

The case is related to attorney Robert Klitzkie’s complaint against the Land Management director for not making available public records related to a Yona seminary property.

Superior Court of Guam Judge Maria T. Cenzon, in an April 26 judgment, said Land Management must pay $464 in court costs, and $8,706.40 in attorney’s fees incurred by Klitzkie in the case, for a total of $9,170.40.
