The issues, as stated by petitioner, are: (1) Whether the Commonwealth Court erred in extending the internal, predecisional deliberative exception under Section 708(b)(10)(i) of the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law to public information shared with agency subcontractors having no direct or proper contractual relationship with the agency? (2) Whether the Commonwealth Court erred in mooting Petitioner’s objections to the assertion of the attorney client privilege and attorney work product as a result of an unsolicited eleventh-hour production, without consideration for the issue’s repetition and public importance as it relates to the production of public information under Pennsylvania’s Right-to-Know Law? These cases are consolidated for purposes of argument and disposition.
