Check out this piece from the Boston Globe about a battle to release information about two firefighters who had drugs or alcohol in their blood when they died fighting a fire this summer.
The Boston Herald registered its clear dissent.
Based on what we discussed in lecture about public records, would these autopsy findings be public in Wisconsin? Should they be? What's the public interest in this information? What kinds of harm come from the release?

since the firefighters are either paid with public funds or operating equipment paid with public funds, if some firefighters are under the influence of drugs and alcohol, it should be public information
