CALIFORNIA: Marin lags neighbors in posting restaurant inspection reports - (Marin Independent Journal)

March 8, 2008 – 6:09 pm

Marin restaurant patrons are, according to this story, out of luck if they want to log on to the Web and check out how their favorite eatery performed during its latest county health inspection.
All of Marin’s neighbors - San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, and Sonoma counties - post inspection results on their Web sites. Walter Kruse, Sonoma’s director of environmental health, was cited as saying that Sonoma County started putting its results on the Web about five years ago, adding, “We think it’s important, so we do it. We’re the second-highest-used site in the county right below job availability.”
In Marin, however, the only way to research the information is to visit county offices and sift through handwritten reports stored in manila files.
