The CCLU is trying to sue the individual members of the LB, Wissup has had a campaign of personal attacks on various people including members of the LB, and most importantly it sounds like the LB has good reason to question the decision to turn over all of their personal e-mails.Eema-lehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469662545641543683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32673461.post-73646530879746503402009-06-19T13:09:55.356-05:002009-06-19T13:09:55.356-05:00Those details, in fact, are spelled out in the sta...Those details, in fact, are spelled out in the statute.Mpetersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18399880071535547324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32673461.post-22322622187582355692009-06-19T12:58:15.069-05:002009-06-19T12:58:15.069-05:00Using a personal email account for official busine...Using a personal email account for official business is not illegal. It may not be wise, that's all. It may violate a City's policy that official business be conducted with an officially-provided email account, but providing such is not legally required, either. <br /><br />The open records law is generally agnostic about how or where you created the record in the sense that it doesn't care if you used the personal email account. If it's a communication with other people, it's a record that can be further considered to be a releasable open record. Private info can be redacted. <br /><br />Although I don't think it's ever been tested, I believe if you sent an email to yourself it could still be considered a "personal note" which is not valid material for an open records request.Display Namehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842340986220388709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32673461.post-36705976830260162902009-06-19T12:48:59.683-05:002009-06-19T12:48:59.683-05:00Owen belief in the dogma of Friedman is not much d...Owen belief in the dogma of Friedman is not much diffrent from the way Hare Krishnas believe in the dogma of their sect.<br /><br />Except, I'm thinking, the Krishnas eat better. :)Mpetersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18399880071535547324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32673461.post-90839468371757437942009-06-19T12:28:54.508-05:002009-06-19T12:28:54.508-05:00That James, is a good question.That James, is a good question.Mpetersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18399880071535547324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32673461.post-53245499861774450262009-06-19T12:03:32.733-05:002009-06-19T12:03:32.733-05:00Maybe you should just go to Antigua on a vacation ...Maybe you should just go to Antigua on a vacation until this is solved. Your stress level would be better and you could be rested for the upcoming school year(if you don't teach summer school)LOL. <br /><br />It is so out of hand, but I think the library board see's themselves as something more than they are. Hence the mess. Again, move the books and you solve it all, but stubborn people will possibly cost the city some big bucks.PaulyWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32673461.post-57237321958226085282009-06-19T11:44:23.654-05:002009-06-19T11:44:23.654-05:00As Recess correctly notes in the comments, it may ...As Recess correctly notes in the comments, it may be that Owen obtained the letter without proper handling and the balancing test that needs to be accorded to all records before they're declared "open".
