A feel-good story about documents

Everyone who has ever had to put up with an uninformed (or lying) bureaucrat to try to get public records, anyone who has ever had to twiddle her thumbs through the litigation of a public-records lawsuit whose resolution comes long after the records' news value has evaporated, will get at least a mild kick out of the luck involved in this story.

Intersting. C- for the writing on the source site. Who is Pipitone?

Tony Pipitone, who does criminal investigations for the station. Don't know if he wrote this copy -- a lot of TV-news Web sites do it that way -- or if someone else did.
