The Weekly Observer has filed requests concerning landfill finances with County Treasurer Pearl Brown, who has provided a portion of the requests, but stated to the Observer that the part of the request had been turned over to Pasley, because only he could provide the information. The records sought are all specifically identified in state law as public records.
State Freedom of information law states that financial records are public records and must be made available to the press and public, except for some specific exemptions. The law also requires response to Freedom of Information law within fifteen working days, and states that any records that are claimed exempt must be so identified within the time limit, or the request must be granted.
