Prospect Heights officials insist they sent county missing records
http://63.67.107.59/searchdata/36725/news/localcook/7rest.htm

by Chris Clair
Cook County Clerk David Orr's office says it has received only one annual
financial report from Prospect Heights since 1991.
However, city officials say they have filed the report as required every
year and would like to know what the clerk has done with their material.
The discrepancy came up when former Prospect Heights 4th Ward Alderman
Gerald T. Anderson asked for city financial records that are normally kept
on file with the county clerk.

The following url is unavailable apparently the Canadian papers move the
previous day's stories into the pay per view section on the following day.
But the story is interesting nonetheless.

medical diagnoses, hospital admissions, criminal charges and convictions,
were found by striking staff at a Madison Avenue Housing facility near King
and Dufferin Sts.

HIGHLAND BEACH -- The mayor's sunlit office is relatively neat. But stacks
of newspaper clippings, photos, maps, blueprints and other historical
documents have taken over the room and seem to scream for attention.
If they could, they'd scream loudly.
Mayor Thomas Reid is on a quest to preserve Highland Beach's rich history.
And some days it seems like an impossible goal because of the lack of
volunteers to sort through thousands of documents gathered about the town.

Social Security numbers easy to dig up, purchase
http://www.ardemgaz.com/week/Tue/ark/bexssn18.html

by Jeff Porter
If you've filed a workers' compensation claim recently, the state will make
your Social Security number available for a fee -- or perhaps even for free.
No one intended for this to happen, and it's just one of many ways an
unscrupulous person could obtain your number, perhaps for a shopping spree
for which you would be billed.
In fact, it's not even illegal although Congress might change that, making
it against the law to sell Social Security numbers.
"But it's too late," according to James Daniel, Arkansas Workers'
Compensation Commission assistant chief executive officer. The numbers have
become increasingly inseparable from a person's other identifying
information.

Audit finds conservation-district books in disarray
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/news/local/html98/cons18m_20000718.html

by Roberto Sanchez
An audit of the King Conservation District shows that the agency kept such
poor financial records between 1994 and 1999 that it could not account for
$1.7 million in federal grants and could not show how it spent the money
received each year in fees from King County residents.
The audit, released last week by the state auditor, said the district did
not have the staff or expertise to keep proper records for funds, or even
the separate accounts to keep track of different sources of money.
