[edit] Appointees' information is private?

"We discovered an (another!) alarming little loophole in the state's open records law this week when we requested the letters sent in by the applicants for Noah Cashman's open council seat.

Turns out that if an individual is an applicant to an appointed seat in local government, much less information is made public about them, according to an amendment to the state open records law, made this year."
