Floyd County Health Department adds photo of handsome devil to its web site, but retains actionable photo.

Earlier today, I posted this: A cease and desist, a tort claim notice, and Dr. Tom at large. As of 3:30 p.m., it has attracted 1,200 unique hits, four times the norm. Thanks for reading, and thanks to A for pointing out a new twist.

As of roughly 3:00 p.m. today (Tuesday, August 13), it would appear that the Floyd County Health Department has altered the surroundings of the photographic image that prompted NABC's cease and desist demand and accompanying tort claim notice.

The title and actionable photo remain.

The leering, junior highscapades reference to E. coli is gone, replaced by a strange press release telling the public what was reported here at NA Confidential several weeks ago: When the FCHD complied at the 11th hour in late July with the terms of NABC's Indiana Public Access records request, the complaint we filed as an inducement to observe legalities was no longer in play.

Duh.

Here's how the FCHD's page looked for the past two weeks:


And here's what it is now:


Hmm. With no photo removal and no apology, me thinks this "change" constitutes a rejection of the cease and desist, although considering the ongoing absence of adults on the FCHD campus premises, it's really hard to say, isn't it?

Given the "juvenile" nature of the FCHD's website hijinks, perhaps it bears reminding readers: This is a government agency at "work."

Really.

This is more than ample proof, both of the actionable nature of their site, but also the juvenile manner of their strategy. jd
