A Hudson County Superior Court judge last week ordered Jersey City to provide traffic summons data at no cost to a man who had requested it under the state's public-records law.
The city initially told the man, Edward Correa, that it did not have a report with the information that he requested — in April, he asked for four years' worth of data regarding traffic summonses — and that producing the data would cost him $1,024.

I loved those two paragraphs towards the end of the article: Jersey City has seen the number of OPRA requests skyrocket in recent years. Last year, more than 2,000 OPRA requests were filed with the City Clerk. In 2006, there were 607 requests. City spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill noted the number of OPRA requests the city receives when asked to comment today on Turula's decision. I guess the city wants to be more open (remember the Open City initiative?) and for the citizenship more engaged, but not too open and not so engaged.
