Lawsuit targets secrecy agreements surrounding Google's new campus

Google's plan to expand their campus into a new city has echoes of Amazon's secretive year-long second headquarters process

Officials in San Jose, California, negotiating with Google over the tech company's plan to build a massive new campus, are improperly withholding documents, a lawsuit alleged on Tuesday.

The suit argues that non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) signed by San Jose mayor Sam Liccardo and as many as 18 city staffers at the request of Google were "illegal and invalid". It seeks to force the city to turn over documents requested under California's public records law.
