Press Pays Gookin LCDC Records Tab
Item: LCDC records now online: Coeur d’Alene Press picks up tab for records sought by Gookin /Coeur d’Alene Press
More Info: But Gookin didn’t pay, saying they were public records and no money should change hands because he wasn’t requesting copies. After speaking with Gookin, Press Managing Editor Mike Patrick had the records purchased. “It was our intent, since LCDC wasn’t sharing this info with the public, we would,” Patrick said. He added that The Press will be requesting similar records from other public entities.
Question: Did the Coeur d’Alene Press act properly in picking up the tab for the LCDC records requested by community activist Dan Gookin?
