Public Records Show ... Former Building Official Sending Emails Under False Name

The (Vancouver) Columbian reports that a former building official was sending emails under a a fake name to his former employer falsely alleging various improprieties at the building department. Kind of a weird story, but one that is possible because of access to public records:

"The Clark County Sheriff's Office reviewed surveillance video from FedEx Kinko's and confirmed that [the former building official] sent at least six of the e-mails, according to county reports released Friday in response to a public records request from The Columbian."
