Fair access a must for public records

Apparently, Collier County Clerk of Court believes he has the right to
violate public records laws and charge exorbitant fees for documents
because he does not like the tactics of an investigative reporter. It is
wrong, vindictive and hurts anyone's ability to fairly gain access to a
public record. And it breaks the law.

Clerk of Court Dwight Brock has lost once in court and is once again
challenging a judge's decision striking down the $556 tab he wanted to
charge investigative reporter Gina Edwards. We urge that any future court
decisions also support the circuit court judge's ruling. Brock must abide
by the law and not take his anger out on Edwards.
