[edit] Jefferson FOIA request proves contentious

"Jefferson County's new zoning ordinance and a related petition are at the center of a debate.

In December, members of Citizens for a Better Government in Jefferson County submitted more than 3,000 signatures that it had collected as part of a petition drive aimed at bringing the ordinance up for a public vote. As a result, a stay was placed on the ordinance. The previous ordinance was placed back in force until the election can take place.

Since the petition's submission though, a new battle has begun, this one centered around whether the petition - and the names on it - should be considered public information."
