In the darkness, Chattanooga City Attorney Wade Hinton squats down to
examine the contents of yet another box, getting a firsthand look at the
Herculean task he is undertaking — deciding what to do with decades worth
of city government documents, and creating a policy to determine what
should be done with new documents — both paper and electronic.

Hinton concedes that no one knows exactly how many boxes or cabinets or
closets or attics or basements full of documents exist across all city
departments. The general policy for decades has been "keep everything," he
told City Council members Tuesday evening as he explained his proposal. One
of his first tasks is to get each department to perform a survey to
determine what it is storing now.

"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.
