Good job on the website David. I notice that you don't intend to put older records online until you do an audit for SSN's. You could put most of the oldest records online without endangering your constituents. The ones that are most in need of preservation are also the least likely to harm anyone. I'm talking about the records that are more than a hundred years old. Having these records online would be a boom to historians and genealogists and imaging these delicate records would help preserve them for future generations.

For some more possible planks for your platform you might like to look at what the new Mercer County New Jersey clerk has accomplished. I thought she had some inovative ideas that her constituents will appreciate.

I wish you would reconsider pulling the plug on the Internet records. Redaction (or audits to redact) is an expensive and largely unnecessary procedure when the records are kept off the Internet. I've never seen a clerk or recorder that has managed to do it successfully no matter how much money or time they spend. Just look what happened in Travis County Texas. Even if you succeeded in removing every single SSN from every document, you leave behind the most common information identity thieves need for deed and mortgage fraud.

You might consider using intranet as opposed to Internet as a delivery system. Wireless intranet could be established to make the records more easily accessible to resident and visiting professionals while keeping the records out of reach for criminals outside your jurisdiction. The range could be set to a room in the courthouse, the courhouse, a city block or more without ever sending the records outside the jurisdiction.

Just some thoughts. I hope you keep us informed as your campaign progresses.
