Politicians - Former Lynn Mayor Edward J. “Chip” Clancy
Massachusetts seems to have quite a few politicians like this...
Edward Mason reports at BostonHerald.com:
"Former Lynn Mayor Edward J. “Chip” Clancy and his staff, as they prepared to depart City Hall for good, deleted all e-mails and purged electronic files from city computers, says the new mayor, who is fuming over what she says may be a violation of state law.
'I feel this is a very serious breach of the public trust,' said Judith Flanagan Kennedy, Lynn’s new mayor. 'I can’t think of a valid reason why e-mails were deleted from the mayor’s office.'
Besides the e-mails, the city is missing key documents - payroll records, contracts and press releases - stored on those computers, Kennedy said.
To her horror, she also found that nearly all paper records were gone, and that just six of 28 file drawers had not been cleaned out as Clancy cleared out."
