The Hamilton County Attorney's Office is under fire for its handling of multiple recent public records requests, the Times Free Press reports. Two records requests filed with the office have been initially denied or had illegal fees imposed by county general government public records coordinator Dana Beltramo. According to attorney and Tennessee Coalition of Open Government board member Rick Hollow, Beltramo's actions threaten not only a newspaper's ability to do its job, but more importantly, citizens' right to keep tabs on the elected officials that serve them.
