Iowa’s governor says he’ll release e-mails he sent from, or received on, private computers and servers that dealt with public business. He’s responding to an open records request by The Associated Press.
York Township Commissioner Philip Briddell apparently has e-mails dealing with public business that are on a private server. The state’s open records office ruled they are open to public inspection, but that it has no power to force Briddell or his employer to produce the e-mails.
That leaves it up to Briddell to release the e-mails. His initial response: It’s not my problem.
