SALT LAKE CITY – Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes has released his work calendar to KSL, ending a legal fight over public records that dragged on for nearly two years.

Reyes and his office turned over the schedule to KSL Wednesday as part of a settlement agreement. The attorney general’s office had sued the news organization and later appealed to the Utah Supreme Court in an attempt to overturn earlier decisions granting KSL access to the calendar.

So, what do the records show about how Reyes has spent his time on the job? The KSL Investigators are working to find out after receiving more than 9,000 pages containing calendar invitations sent to or from Reyes’ account on the office’s Microsoft Outlook system from 2019 through 2023.

That’s a bigger time frame than KSL sought, and it’s what the office already handed over for a pending legislative audit of its travel policies and Reyes’ management.

The settlement comes after the AG’s office lost several rounds in the public recordsfight, with two defeats handed down by Utah’s State Records Committee and another by a judge who ruled the AG’s calendar must be released in response to KSL’s request under Utah’s open records law.

Reyes’ office did not immediately have a comment on the settlement and release of the records.

“The record by the decision makers on this has consistently been in favor of government transparency,” said attorney Tammy Frisby, who argued KSL’s casebefore the records committee in September.
