I am curious if an individual can somehow find records showing who has given to a judges re-election fund, as it may pertain to proving the impartiality of the Chancellor.

Are these records bound by any law to be public record, such as those campaign funds of other elected officials?

Every site that you go to wants money. If they are public records for everyone to view, how can they charge for them. I would like to know if anyone has found a site that is actually free.

Dave Vandergriff asked:

If public records are free to the public, how come everywhere I go on the internet wants money for access?

I want to see who all has gone to jail and stuff like that…..
I just want to go to a website and see if any of my friends have gone to jail…No specific jail.

Our son’s little league coach has an injunction for stalking and harrassment, and we think that the other parents should read the disturbing public records that we paid for from the county courthouse to help them ensure the safety for their children? Many thanks.

imnotlisa@sbcglobal.net asked:

I’ve search for myself on various of the public records sites and they have WRONG information about me – for instance I do not now, nor have I EVER lived with or know a Paul Carpenter, but he is listed in my information. How do I get that corrected?

Can the State charge for Public Records not printed?

Filed under: Law & Ethics — Tags: Business Listings, Minimal Fee, Public Records — admin @ 8:43 am

Kristopher Ives asked:

I’ve been reading around and it appears that the state can charge a fee for public record copies, which seems mainly oriented to paper records. However, my state (Oregon) offers a CD-ROM of public records for new business listings for $50 each month.

This is hardly a “minimal fee”, and from what I read the cost of this CANNOT be for the labor or preparation for the record, simply only the cost of creating the copy.

Cheers,
Kris
This question is about materials NOT printed.
