"The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

Everyone's favorite local blogger threw out some sweeping and serious allegations during last night's City Commission meeting.  She didn't mention the subject matter, but accused the city of purging public records.  Here is that part of her comments under unagendaed items:

Later, after Ms. Anderson stormed out of the room before anyone could respond to her charges, Mr. Bornstein responded to what he thought it related to.  You can hear what he says below:

In Commissioner responses to comments, it became clear that Ms. Anderson only shared her concerns with her now favorite Commissioner McVoy.  Maxwell and Amoroso mentioned that these are serious charges and it is important to know what they revolve around.  Mr. Bornstein thought, as you can hear in the video, that it related to some "questionable requests" regarding the pool at the beach and Greater Bay's work on the pool.

Is Ms. Anderson asking the city to prove a negative?  Is she saying "prove that you didn't destroy records?"  Is she asking for documents that back-up her version of the facts that don't reflect what actually transpired?  Is that why she is asking for them?

Me thinks so.
