Trial court has jurisdiction; no exemption for Section 8 housing owners info
The Commonwealth Court determined that the trial court had subject matter jurisdiction to decide on an appeal of an Office of Open Records (“OOR”) final determination even though the OOR, not the party seeking records, was named appellee.
On the merits of the case, the Commonwealth Court affirmed the OOR decision because the records sought disclosed only the personal information of owners of Section 8 housing, as opposed to the tenants who receive the social service, and therefore do not fall within an exemption.
