Taft names panel members to study privacy issues

The Columbus Dispatch is reporting that Gov. Bob Taft has appointed the members of the Ohio Privacy/Public Record Access Study Committee, which will examine a broad range of issues related to release of public records and produce a report within a year.

From the story:

The members, who are not compensated, are: J. Bradford Tillson, of Dayton, former publisher of the Dayton Daily News; Thomas C. Griesdorn, of Columbus, vice president/general manager for WBNS-TV (Channel 10); John C. "Jack" Greiner, of Cincinnati, a partner in the litigation department at Graydon, Head & Ritchey; Jan Antonoplos, of Delaware, the Delaware County clerk of courts; Audra Osmena DeVictor, of New Albany, a deputy Ohio attorney general; John T. Fitts, of Cleveland, deputy general counsel for Progressive Casualty Insurance Co.; John Crenshaw, of Gahanna, the program director for WCOL-FM; Angela Bosworth, of Columbus, director of business development and general counsel for government affairs for OPENonline; Margaret J. Ritenour, of Columbus, vice president of legal services for the Ohio Association of Realtors; Gordon Gough, of Columbus, public-affairs director for the Ohio Council of Retail Merchants; Roger S. Blair, of New Albany, senior vice president and general counsel for First Community Bank; Michael L. Gonidakis, of Dublin, a senior deputy attorney general of consumer protection; and Deborah Archie, of Groveport, chief legal counsel for the Ohio Department of Administrative Services.

We can't help but wonder who among these people is actually going to care about the privacy part…
