While KSAZ Anchor Kari Lake is tweeting out debunked information, the Scripps station in Phoenix is actually doing real news.

KNXV has been trying to get Arizona Governor Doug Ducey and state’s Health Department Director Dr. Cara Christ to provide the station with the names and locations of long-term care facilities with COVID-19 cases in the state.

Ducey has been stonewalling the station and now KNXV has issued a final demand to the Governor’s Office, Department of Health Services, and Department of Corrections to produce requested records related to long-term care facilities and prisons by the close of business on Thursday.

If the state agencies fail or refuse, the station will examine its legal options to compel the public release of the information.

The state has refused to release the name and locations of long-term facilities to ABC15 and other media outlets for weeks. It’s an unlawful denial of vital public information, according to multiple top experts in public records and health privacy laws.
