MHA/Housing Authority of Little Rock board chairman releases document regarding the termination of executive director

Kenyon K. Lowe, Sr. - MHA Board Chairman


On August 25th we sent a Freedom of Information request to the Little Rock Housing Authority d/b/a the Metropolitan Housing Alliance for all records regarding the termination of their executive director.

In a response to that request their board chairman Kenyon K. Lowe, Sr. sent this this morning.

 

If this is all the records they have, perhaps the LR mayor and city board of directors need to replace Lowe and the rest of that sketchy housing authority board.

We fired off another FOI request on August 26th.


We have received nothing in regard to the 2nd request.

Initially Lowe flat out told us he was barred from releasing any records regarding the firing of their executive director because she could appeal her termination.

We fired off a quick email letting him know he was full of shit.


Lowe and his agency have a documented history of failing to comply with the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act.

In fact, a former executive director had criminal charges filed against him for failing to comply with a FOI request.

Lowe and his fellow board members will get a first hand experience in dealing with a AFOIA Denial of Rights action in circuit court here in Pulaski County in the near future.
