Colorado lawmakers consider blocking names of ranchers who ask for wolf compensation from public view
From Sky-Hi News:
The names of ranchers who request compensation for wolves killing their livestock may be blocked from public view if a recently proposed bill is approved by the Colorado legislature next year.
Under the bill, members of the public and media wouldn’t be able to see the ranchers’ names when requesting compensation records for wolf attacks, also known as depredations, through the Colorado Open Records Act.
“Many ranchers and livestock owners are hesitant to fill out depredation claims because they fear their personal information may be revealed to the public,” said Sen. Dylan Roberts, a Frisco Democrat who will be the prime sponsor of the bill.
