Vermont’s Public Records Law promises its residents the ability to find, acquire, and use records kept by government bodies, including arrest records, court public records, marriage and divorce certificates, and records of traffic infractions, and this privilege extends to the people of Saxtons River. All pertaining info on the various happenings of law enforcement, municipal courts, and local government are contained in these records, and are assumed public unless legally redacted. As a result of these laws, residents of Saxtons River can enjoy transparency of their governing administration, which in turn stimulates a free and open society in which the populace may hold both criminals and regulators alike liable for their actions.
