Eleven public records for fun features
Check out the FOI Toolbox in this month's Quill magazine for 11 public records that make for fun features. Some of the records include:
* U.S. patents (wacky inventors in your hometown)
* Pet licenses (most common breeds and names, and people with lots of pets)
* Expense reports (city council dinner choices and travel perks)
* Agriculture census (trends in bee keepers, maple syrup production, etc.)
* Code enforcement records (residents who do annoying things)
* Claims against government (wacky mishaps, such as an attack peacock)
