Requests For Open Records Filed In Oconee County Deal With Horses, Dogs, Births, Deaths And Cell Towers
Open records requests provide a snapshot of county documents that citizens want to view.
Three people wanted to know about complaints filed with Animal Control.
Seven wanted information from Code Enforcement.
Four wanted marriage licenses, birth certificates, wills, or divorce decrees or other documents part of divorce filings.
Two wanted to know details of petitions filed by people opposed to selling liquor in county restaurants.
These queries–and 11 others, for a total of 27--were made through open records requests filed with Oconee County Clerk Jane Greathouse during a 53-day period stretching from Aug. 1 to Sept. 22.
Greathouse said they are pretty typical of the requests that come across her desk as the designated Open Records Officer for the county. Handing these requests is nearly a full-time job, she said.
