on Making Public Records Public
I live in a city here in Oregon, I have been doing a research on the cities public works, WWTP, grit remover system, I started this over a year ago and every time it felt like, I had to file a petition, because the city would not give me this public records, I filed letters of my request, because verbal request did not work, I filed petitions through the county district attorney, and the district attorney's office would have to send the city a letter asking for these public records, I asked for invoices of work being done by a electric company at the WWTP, I knew that the city recorder was not providing the district attorney with all of the invoices. The rewiring of a grit remover motor was being done by an city employee, this was stated on maintenance records that the public works had kept, I submitted this petition back in June of 2009 and the district attorney office submitted their letter in July of 2009, and they got some invoices, but none of them I was looking for, I tried again in August of 2009 and only got one invoice, and this one was the right one. I received the right invoices in December of 2009 from the city recorder, but I submitted another letter to the district attorney in January of 2010, I told the district attorney's office about the invoice and no payment made to the electric company and this was a fake invoice and it was made up to please me. I received the right invoice in February of 2010, I received these from the district attorney's office. I have been looking for the Oregon law that states something about a city employee providing fake documentation to a citizen? I have the copy of the invoice, the total amount was never paid, I have a copy of the Transaction List by Date for the month of June of 2009, I was told by the public works director back in December of 2009 that this was made up just for me and it was paid by the city, wrong, never paid for. I have written a letter to the Sheriff's Office, as the district attorney's office stated; If I feel that a crime has been committed, then you must report that to law enforcement, I have been researching if a law has been committed, I am just going to have law enforcement look into to this for me, I am writing the attorney's generals office about this and have them look into to this also. Does anyone know what law has been broken?
