What once was lost, now is found.

When Tina Renna’s watchdog group requested a video recording or transscript of a recent freeholder meeting, she was told that no such recordings existed.

That’s odd, Renna thought, because the county just recently spent $110,000 to upgrade video recording equipment for freeholder meetings.

But after Renna’s group requested that the Prosecutor’s Office investigate the matter — citing that the county manager read a statement regarding the county’s response to the jail breakout, and that the proceedings might be helpful to investigators — the county sent Renna an apologetic letter saying — ta da! — that a recording of the meeting was indeed available.
