State ex rel. DeGroot v. Tilsley, 128 Ohio St. 3d 311

DeGroot, a retired Cincinnati employee, sought home addresses of retirees eligible to vote for the retiree-trustee, under the Public Records Act (R.C. 149.43).
Tilsley and the City provided names but not home addresses; DeGroot sought access to home addresses of retirees.
DeGroot filed a mandamus petition in the Hamilton County Court of Appeals to compel disclosure.
The Court of Appeals dismissed the amended petition under Civ.R. 12(B)(6).
The Ohio Supreme Court affirmed, holding home addresses are not records under R.C. 149.011(G) and thus not subject to disclosure.
The Court noted waiver of an additional argument about the civil service roster and reliance on prior authorities like Dispatch Printing Co. and Carnail.
