[edit] Clarksville drops 25 cent public record charge

"Tom DeArk coughed up a couple of quarters last summer when the Clarksville Town Council passed an ordinance that put a 25-cent-per-page charge on copies of public documents.

The first thing he paid for was a copy of the very ordinance that put the charge in place.

DeArk, a self-described “policy wonk” and constant requester of town records, considered the fee excessive, arguing that state law did not allow Clarksville to factor in labor and overhead costs."
