[edit] Public records not really public, reporters find
"For more than a year now, the Journal and the city have butted heads about ethics and the definition of public records and public information.
Last year, a reporter for the Somerville Journal asked that the Statements of Financial Interest filed by candidates running for office in 2007 to be released. When the reporter received the copies, the majority of information had been blacked out — the name of the wife of the mayor, for example, had been blacked out, even though the Journal has run her name and photo on a number of occasions."
