Help put their records as prosecutors on-line where everyone can see them.

The goal is a page like this for every prosecutor in the country:
I wish he'd be more up-front about this stuff.
Your characterization of the initiative as being solely designed to benefit me financially is misleading and inaccurate, and I disagree with your assertion that I somehow should have been more forthright.
al·so

Adverb
In addition; too.I do not find it necessary to explicitly disclose beyond what it already obvious from the PlainSite web site that I may capitalize on opportunities that are available to everyone, and which my work (and funding of others' work) has made more available to everyone.
Would you prefer that information not be in the public domain at all because I might make a profit from helping to organize it? Or are you saying that I have an obligation to disclaim that I might hypothetically make more of a profit from there being more public information in the public domain, which applies as much to you as it does me? Or are you (also) saying that I may not earn a living by any means and discuss circumstances surrounding or even unrelated to those circumstances unless they happen to meet your particular standards first? Or are you saying that no one should be entitled to profit from public information at all and that only the government should be able to dictate what information will be disseminated and how?
If you think you can do a better or somehow more "pure" job than I have making public information surrounding the justice system more accessible, please, by all means, go ahead. I and many others would be grateful.
In the meantime, whatever you are saying, I find your comments incredibly callous, disrespectful, and misleading (because you make it sound like the data goes to only me, when really it goes to the Internet Archive RECAP database) and I once again request that you stop.
