Berns, Gookin Split Over Records Fee
Item: Records request fee in question: LCDC executive director, citizen disagree on law’s interpretation /Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d’Alene Press
More Info: Urban renewal watchdog Dan Gookin doesn’t believe he should have to pay to view public records. So long as the agency doesn’t have to make copies, Gookin says, the records should be open to the public, free of charge. But Lake City Development Corp. wants $58.10 from Gookin to view the agency’s check registry dating back to 2003, which Gookin requested in February under the Idaho Public Records Act.
