Under MPIA GP § 4-344, which allows a custodian to deny inspection of confidential opinions, deliberations, advice or recommendations from one governmental employee or official to another for the purpose of assisting the latter in the decision-making function, we have redacted sections of these emails that reveal pre-decisional recommendations of the Office of Human Resources, where release would be contrary to the public interest given its potential to inhibit full and frank internal discussion of proposed grades prior to final reclassification.
