Christian Sigman, City Manager for the City of Brookhaven, Georgia, discussed the number of records requests in a February 23, 2026, message and offered to talk about concerns instead.
My requests became the subject. On February 23, 2026, Christian Sigman, Brookhaven City Manager, wrote, “I understand you have submitted almost 75 requests over the last two weeks…that compares the roughly 100 requests per month from all sources the City of Brookhaven receives.”
The ellipsis and the wording in this quotation are Sigman’s own.
What I allege
- The comparison. Sigman contrasted my requests with his description of roughly 100 monthly requests from all sources.
- The alternate conversation. In the same email, he wrote, “I reach out today to ask if there is some specific concern or issue that you would like to address or be heard on in lieu of these of records requests.”
- The question moved. His February 23 note asked about what I ultimately wanted to discuss. My written correspondence had already identified records requests that needed handling.
Human cost
In my October 14, 2026 email, I wrote:
Between January 23 and February 13 […] I sent the City eleven emails: to the City Manager, the City Attorney, the City Clerk and the records offices. […] I did not come to your Office first. I came after the City did nothing.
Closing
The City Manager wanted to discuss the number of requests and the objective behind them. I wanted the City to answer the requests themselves.

How to read this page. Officials’ words are quoted from their own dated emails and letters. My own dated emails and my opinion are marked as mine. Labels in bold are my characterization of the dated facts beside them. Being copied on a letter does not show that a person influenced a decision. A count of requests is a count of requests, not a count of violations. Nothing here is a legal finding. Counts and dates are as of October 17, 2026.
