[edit] Filing reversed roles for deputy county attorney

"This was something new in the career of James McCubbin.

As a deputy attorney for Missoula County, McCubbin and others in his office are regularly on the receiving end of public records requests.

Someone wants the minutes of an open meeting. A Realtor wants a copy of a deed. A reporter wants the transcript of an e-mail exchange between public officials.

But there was McCubbin last spring, filing a records request of his own on behalf of the county - to an agency in the federal government.

And here he is, nearly a year later, still alive to talk about it."
