As a Records Manager and VA Beach taxpayer, I am not happy about the 
recent revelation that Sheriff Lateigne is planning to use inmates to shred city 
documents.  
A.  Those might include my personal documents.
B.  I can think of better uses of taxpayer money during a budget deficit.
C.  Risk and legality issues come to mind.  

I think it was a very short-sighted and ill-concieved idea.  Sheriff Lateigne did 
not contact his own Records Management department for comment or LVA.  I 
doubt he's aware of the many laws and regulations governing our records.
