I was trying to identify a list of people moving to my county on a monthly basis from outside the county.

I thought of these "public" lists so went down to the power company... They wanted a $45 set up fee and $25 per month for this and several other counties. Probably not a bad deal if I wanted all of them. But I don't...

I'm still waiting to see the price for just my county!

Somehow, this "public" information is being cordoned off in the name of homeland security, protecting identity theft or some other way to justify sticking their hand out for money!

I knew of a stock broker who used to go to the utility company and because it was public information be allowed to look through their book of new customers... that's ancient history!
