Readers of the Times have relied for decades on the inclusion of public records such as police reports, property transfers and notations of both marriages and divorces in Washington County in addition to public meeting announcements, legal advertisements and obituaries.Then the coronavirus pandemic added an extra hurdle in 2020 to fulfill the expectation of printing public records.
The challenge: Past inclusion of many public records required physical, weekly visits into separate county offices for manual input.

I grabbed a bat out of my room and started whaling on him in the chair.”
