According to this article, the government
sells your personal information.
What kind of "personal info" are they selling? Voter info, business,
medical, death, home sales, foreclosure, tax info, student info, you
name it, the government is selling it.
"It feels like a betrayal," Meer said. "Because our
government is supposed to protect us, not to sell our information and
profit from us." Spokesperson Andrew Cole confirms the Secretary of
State sells business information for monetary amounts ranging from $200
to $12,000, depending on frequency and amount of information requested.
But, Cole says the fees only cover the costs of running the databases.
