OK: Payne County treasurer’s office tosses sensitive documents in dumpster

Posted on July 23, 2014 by Dissent

Paige Hill reports that the Payne County assessor’s office noticed a dumpster full of documents and files with personal information including social security numbers – but before anything could be done, a dump truck hauled all the papers away.

County Assessor James Cowan says he noticed documents that date from the 1980′s to 2008.

Read more on KFOR. The county treasurer reports that it was an “oversight,” but what is the county going to do to get the papers back and/or notify residents?  There is no notice on the county’s website as of the time of this posting.
