I wonder if anyone is pursuing this angle.

Bay Area. Just because, in their legal staff's opinion, the information he requested "wasn't legally required," doesn't mean that there is not a public benefit in providing it. Makes me think that BART is more interested in hiding its policy deliberations rather than seeing a Director's request as an opportunity to better explain to the public BART's work.
