$37,000 TO PUT RECORDS ON LINE

In this past Sunday's (April 5) Sandusky Register on page A2 in the article “Creative Cash Quest: Erie County officials look everywhere, anywhere for money,” Barb Johnson states that she is seeking outside funding to cover the $37,000 that it will take to get the COC records on line. FINALLY! ! ! This shows she is trying to do something about this. At least she now has a dollar amount; unless of course she just pulled those figures out of the air. Now the big question is, will she continue the hard work and follow through with this, or will she let it slip into the cracks?

I can think of one way to get the $37,000 needed to cover this price tag. How about collecting on the over $700,000 (see that article here) (which I firmly belive is MUCH higher than that) in outstanding court costs and fines? That way she can kill two birds with one stone; collecting on all that money that is owed to the county AND at the same time getting the money to get the records on line! ! ! I mean, I'm just thinking a little out of the box here and trying to give Barb some helpful advice.

Well, it makes sense to me anyway. How about you? Your thoughts / comments please.
