(Vancouver) Columbian Editorial on School Bus Video Case

The (Vancouver) Columbian writes a fabulous editorial on the recent Lindeman ruling by the state Supreme Court, which held that a school bus video tape must be disclosed under the Public Records Act. The Columbian writes:

"How ridiculous for the Kelso School District to contend that video taken on one of its school buses was private student information. Thank goodness, the state Supreme Court remembers who the buses and schools belong to: taxpayers."

Amen.
