DA uncovers library card breach By Tracy Farr District Attorney Malcom Hodges revealed yesterday that two contract librarians viewed the library records of three prominent Stinky Creekians. Hodges couldn't say what the intentions of the workers were, but he did confirm they were both fired. "I am outraged by this apparent breach in privacy," Hodges said. "Of all the places we as Americans should feel safe from peeping eyes, the library should be at the top of the list. We're going to get to the bottom of this no matter how long it takes." Hodges said the three citizens whose library records were compromised have been notified. The citizens were Mayor Herbert Reese, Sheriff Max Welter and Bud Henderson, owner of the Stinky Creek Saloon. "This is just another example of how the current administration's disregard for our privacy has filtered down to the local arena," Mayor Reese said. "Who knows when or where it will stop? Next thing you know people will be looking at our shopping lists to find out how much bread and cheese we buy." Sheriff Welter said he was disturbed by the disregard for his privacy, but he wasn't going to get worked up about it. "I know what I check out at the library and I have nothing to hide," Sheriff Welter said. "My record is an open book." "You want to know what kind of library books I check out?" Henderson said. "I check out cookbooks and westerns. Anybody who thinks they're going to find out anything lurid about my library visits is just plain loco." DA Hodges said the only information in the documents were names, telephone numbers and a record of any overdue books. "I guess these people were just curious to see what was inside the records," Hodges said. "You would think that if these people were going to do something to jeopardize their job and reputation they would have done it for something way more interesting than library records. It just goes to show you that we live in a time where brains are in short supply." |
