The attorney for the city of Georgetown is suing the state Attorney General’s office after it ruled that parts of his job evaluation are public.

Mark Sokolow filed the suit after local watchdog Ken Martin, who runs the Austin Bulldog, made the request. Sokolow claims the information is private because "it is information in a personnel file, the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy."

Martin has penned a number of articles criticizing Sokolow.
