RedMan: Well ISP is only half right in citing the code. They are going to fight
an uphill battle if Megan sticks to her guns. They have to prove the
cost of those records, and five grand is a bunch of Bull Pucky. I would
expect other agencies (Fish and Game, and Health and Welfare) to be
boneheads about public records but ... ISP?????? Come on guys, your the
last semblance of a truly professional organization we have left and
then you guys go and do this, the citizens deserve better.
DFO: RedMan, you need an avatar.
Question: Do you believe ISP is truly trying to recoup costs by demanding $5595.55 from the SR to release public records on the investigation that led to the firing or disciplinary actions of five Kootenai County jailers. Or is it trying to stonewall?
