Glad to see my donations are going to the right place. In Ohio, HB 9 has language in it designed to confuse both sides - those wishing to keep a list of holders of the Ohio CCW Permit public and those who want to see that list kept out of public record.
Someone has inserted an amendment within HB 9 that provides for the sealing of these records. I'd like to thank Someone. Thank You, Someone!
These records should not be made as the holders of these permits are not criminals. Very few records of personal action should be made public unless that person wishes his records to be on display in which case there are various outlets to publish all the documents you want. Blogs for instance, are free.
I'd like a list of all of the journalists in Ohio. Whenever someone creates an act or performs an action that interferes with the life or livelyhood of an Ohio resident and that act becomes public through the reporting of a journalist, we the residents of the state should have the right to look up that journalists home address and then make that information public.
What reason and what right does the media have to gain access to this information?? Are driver's licenses public information? No. Are fishing or hunting licenses public record? No.
So I'm glad that an amendment has been made to HB 9. If it fails that's fine too.
