Abstract

"News & Issues" piece on a move by Hancock County commissioners to sell copies of public documents on the Internet. The proposal was revisited after citizens questioned the transfer of ownership of the digital documents to the young technology firm that created them. John Simpson, general manager and part owner of MacImage of Maine, based in Scarborough, said the proposal was originally put forward by his company. A new contract, signed on Oct. 10, returns ownership of the 1.5 million documents to the county and pays MacImage a fixed annual fee of $55,000 to manage and maintain the information site.
