Council: Records law needs help (AP) — Kxcoptlona to the Oregon Publh Records l .aw are closing public accoss to flics that the law Intended I to keep open to overybody, I critics KHV. Legislator* have added more than 3(X) excep tions to the law in the 20 years since il was en acted. creating tin* need for review, says Rep Jim Edmunson, D-Eugono. "It has turned from a solid low into Swiss cheese." Edmunson said. Edmunson is among the slate lawmakers who formed the Public Records Advisory Council to examine the exemptions. The council plans to propose bills to the 1993 Legislature that could start plugging some loop holes, says Secretary of State Phil Rotating, a Democrat who ( hairs the council. But he say* the council can only make recom mendations. and there is nothing to prevent legis lator* from adding more exemptions — except public pressure "This is an effort to stop various parties from squirreling away exemptions bused on their clout in the Legislature." Keisling said "The main hammer we have here is the public spotlight.' Exceptions to the law vary in significance, from complaints filed against doctors to license appli cations to run u tree nursery. The public records law wus passed by the 1973 Legislature, along with other Wuterguto-era gov omment reforms. It changed state policy by forc ing the government to prove that records should be kept closed. The law began with u short list of 30 excep tions. including police investigative files, law suits and industrial trude socrets. The list not only has grown to more than 300. it has been spread throughout the 838 chapters of state law, rather than stuted in one suction. It took months for Public Records Advisory Council staff to look through the thousands pages of Oregon law to find them. Many of the exemptions were added because the media dug hard for stories that embarrassed state agencies or big companies, says Los Zailz, publisher of the Kel/ertlmos newspaper in Keizer and a member of the records council. "The issue is open government," Zuitz. said. "The press leads the charge.” As a former investigative reporter for The Ore gonian, Znitz won a public records case against the state Dunking Division in 1983 during his probe of a collapsed hank. But tile state agency and banking lobby slipped an exemption through the Legislature before Zaitz. could gel the records in 1989. lawmakers also closed tax records for hotels and motels after reporters for the Bend Bul letin wanted to see if a major resort had fullen tie hind in its tuxes Fire near Rogue River joins list of Oregon blazes GRANTS PASS {AIM — A fort's! fire broke oul Monday outside the (own of Rogue Riv er, while on the other side of the Cascade Range crews closed in on a blaze that burned 3.000 acres on the Wlnuma National Forest.
