Here We Go Again — County Won’t Release Report

Issue: S-R seeks Baughman investigation records/Thomas Clouse, Spokesman-Review

More Info: According to the suit, Kootenai County Attorney Erika Grubbs refused to turn over a report of the investigation by Kandy Weaver, who was hired by the county's insurer. Grubbs claimed that Weaver only verbally relayed her findings and recommendations to Kootenai County officials and did not turn in a written report.

DFO: Who died and made Erika Grubbs and ICRMP county commissioners. It'd be nice if -- just once -- the Fiddlers Three would tell their insurance handlers and civil prosecutors who's boss and turn over public material. So far, I haven't seen much difference between the new Fiddlers and the old ones.

Question: Is the SR being paranoid/pushy, etc., or has the Kootenai County Courthouse embraced a climate of secrecy?
