« Lola Potter: Public Information Obstacle | Main | Judge Not »

What's The Difference?

tnflag.jpgThe Tennessean reports that legislation to end public access to state and local employees' home addresses and phone numbers has passed the state House.

The measure sponsored by Democratic House Majority Leader Gary Odom of Nashville was approved unanimously. The companion bill is scheduled for a Senate government committee next week. Odom has said the legislation will help protect those workers from harassment.
I'm shocked - shocked, I tell ya - that House Speaker Jimmy Naifeh didn't go vote in a subcommittee to kill this legislation, given his love of open records. But apparently state employees have a special right to privacy unavailable to ordinary Tennesseans who have a handgun carry permit.
