Why name them?

To the editor:

Why are you listing the names of individuals who have made records requests? This is very tacky and unprofessional. Seems like you are somehow trying to shame them or have them harassed for exercising their rights.

Your paper has been going downhill for some time now, and I won’t be renewing my subscription when it expires.

Editor’s note: The goal actually was to give credit to the community-minded people who were holding government entities accountable for their actions, which is what the newspaper supports.
