Bujak Bank Records Held Exempt from Public Records Law

The Idaho Press Tribune is reporting that Judge Kathryn Sticklen has held that Canyon County Prosecutor John Bujak is not required to turn over financial documents relating to a contract between the prosecutor and the City of Nampa to provide prosecution services. Bob Henry had filed a public records request for the documents. The newspaper quotes Judge Sticklen as holding the records "are not documents that relate to the duties of the CPA. Rather, they are private records of Bujak under the contract with the City.”

Interestingly, the City of Nampa announced earlier this week that it would start paying contract money directly to Canyon County and not to Mr. Bujak personally.
