Maybe we should follow Grenada's lead

In another reminder of how public access laws are considered important to international human rights, the prime minister of Grenada says he will introduce freedom of information laws to that country.

Meanwhile, the fight for public access continues here in the homeland. The Utah County Commission has denied an appeal filed by Hilarie Orman of the Spanish Fork News.



Orman is seeking two benign police reports from the Utah County Sheriff's Office. But the sheriff's office, and now the county commission, says the reports are protected records.

Orman is considering an appeal to the State Records Committee.
