Oklahoma City is the latest government agency refusing to release employee birth dates, despite arguments they are open records under state law.
Open government advocates say birth dates are on the front lines of the national battle for open records partially because of fears over identity theft. Those fears aren’t backed up with statistics or even anecdotal evidence showing public records are a source for identity thieves, experts said.
The city denied a request from The Oklahoman last week for the birth date of Ed Martin, director of the city’s Weed and Seed program.
