When Omaha father Curt Safranek requested public records about Nebraska’s review of its developmental disability assessment system, DHHS estimated nearly $1 million to fulfill the request—with completion projected for 2076.
Now he’s taking the agency to court.
Safranek and attorney Daniel Gutman join Dan Parsons to explain the lawsuit and the family story behind it. Curt describes how a funding reduction threatened services his son Will relies on, and why he sought communications about a proposed $420,000 consulting contract to review the interRAI assessment system.
Gutman discusses the legal challenge to DHHS’s estimates and what a successful outcome could mean for public access to government records.
A conversation about transparency, taxpayer dollars and the Nebraska families fighting to protect essential care.
