It's obvious you haven't read all of my posts on this topic. Again, you have NO personal knowledge of me so don't presume to know what I do & think. End of discussion.
I have read some of your discussions and from the ones that I have read I have agreed with you most of the time. It is just a problem with me last night, I was at the explosion point from the hurricane. I think that Gov Jindal has done an excellent job in handeling this disaster event and just wanted to take up for him. I didn't think this was the right time for him to be hit with a bunch of emails from the shalers when he had bigger fish to fry.
Wouldn't SONRIS be more of a public service than something that we are entitled to. Aren't the file copies at the office the only "public records" per se.
I'm just thankful that I don't have to go to the office everytime I want to look something up.
I'm also thankful that I live up here now. I grew up down south and send heartfelt prayers to all that are affected by the damage.
As with many things, "public records" are now featured electronically. I don't know if it's required by law, but I'm sure it helps ease congestion in the offices where records are held and provides better services to the citizens wanting/needing the information. Also, the added service is paid for with tax dollars, so I'm sure there is some obligation to keep it current & available as much as possible. In times of emergency, however, the effected offices may be closed and therefore the electronic services would be, too.
I haven't made many trips to the Dept. of Conservation office, but the computers sure are easier on the back than the old indices at the clerk's office.
Technology has made the term "delayed gratification" almost obsolete. But I agree whole-heartedly with your assessment of SONRIS. I've been able to explain to & help a lot of neighbors with its information.
