Politicians - Attorney General Marc Dann
Hmmm. I wonder what's in those emails.
Why do I think they're gone (or soon will be)?...
Why do I think they're gone (or soon will be)?...
In Ohio's Columbus Dispatch, James Nash reports:
"Dann's office on Friday denied a request from The Dispatch under Ohio's public records law to review three months' worth of e-mail messages between him and his then-scheduler, Jessica Utovich.
Dann in the past has said e-mails are public records and also has sought troves of messages from public offices when he was a state senator and the Democratic candidate for Ohio's top legal office.
One of Dann's first acts as attorney general was to order his staff to retain e-mail messages for 180 days.
'Good government is open government, and we cannot be responsive to citizen requests for information if the information is routinely destroyed, including electronic communication such as e-mails,' Dann said at the time."
