Ruhr worries about the fate of all of the county’s aging records, stored
wherever there’s space, including the old jail adjacent to the courthouse.

Ruhr knows that other Mississippi counties have lost records to fires or
they have been misplaced and forgotten about. “Some of the clerks are
amazed at what we have,” she said. “We’re very fortunate.”

Circuit court records are computerized, but her office still prints a copy
and scans it. “When I came in office we started scanning everything, even
criminal records. That’s our rule. Having gone through Katrina, we took a
hard look and said, ‘We can’t keep doing it this way.”

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
