Lawsuit over Palin's e-mails gets under way today

Source: Anchorage Daily News

A lawsuit aimed at forcing Gov. Sarah Palin to preserve any private e-mails she wrote involving state business hits the courtroom today.

Former state employee Andree McLeod filed the suit a week ago. The goal, she said, is to make Palin retrieve e-mails from her private accounts that involve state business and make them part of the state's public records.

McLeod has filed a records request for the e-mails and other records. The lawsuit also calls on Palin to stop using private accounts for state business, she said.

Palin spokeswoman Sharon Leighow said Thursday she can't comment on pending litigation.

A hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. today in Anchorage Superior Court.

I can't wait to send Caribou Barbie back to Alaska where many voters are growing disillusioned with her. And you can bet the Anchorage Daily News is permanently in my favorites folder and I'll be checking daily to watch her career get iced. Whatever Dem opposes her in the future for whatever office she runs for will be getting donations from me.

It seems these should be available to the public, I can't imagine anything a state would be doing that shouldn't be publicly accessible. The only exception might be during the hammering out of a business arrangement but as soon as the details are set it should be open to the public.

...that there was state business in her private email. The password was passed around when it got cracked, so certainly ONE person had to have had the foresight to make a complete dump of the box.
