McCleary's city cameras are still watching, but they're no longer recording

McCleary's city cameras are still watching, but they're no longer recording. The Daily World reports the city paid $20,000, plus $8,000 in attorney fees, to settle a public records lawsuit. Mayor Andrea Dahl says the city broke the law last December when it couldn't hand over camera video before it was erased after 30 days. Her October 28th order switched the cameras to live view only, and city staff will get records training as part of the deal.
