Dear Editor:
Recently, a newspaper article appeared with the headline “Bosel takes stand.” After reading this, I was quite puzzled that anyone would think this was a good idea.
I understand (county recorder Theresa) Bosel’s frustration with these companies asking for so many public documents – maybe she is correct, companies are taking advantage of the law. However, Ms. Bosel is “taking a stand” with taxpayer money, not her own.
She has already cost the taxpayers $3,000 in (legal fees) as part of a settlement for not complying with the law. The law has not changed. However, now, against advice of her (former) attorney, she is perhaps placing additional taxpayer money at further risk to prove a point.
If Ms. Bosel has concerns about following the law, perhaps she should lobby the legislature to change the law; not waste taxpayer money standing up for a belief. Ms. Bosel was elected to do a job. If she cannot do this job, while complying with the law, perhaps she should step aside.
