Item: From the New York Daily News: “Most of former NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly’s emails on his desktop computer were deleted at the end of his tenure despite an order they be preserved for a high-stakes class-action suit alleging a summons quota system within the department.”
Item: From the Associated Press: “North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley said Friday in response to an open records request that the email account of former attorney general Wayne Stenehjem was deleted after he died and the account and former Chief Deputy Attorney General Troy Seibel was deleted after he resigned. . . . The revelation came to light when Wrigley had to respond to three open records requests about a $1.8 million cost overrun on the lease for the attorney general’s office when Stenehjem was in charge. Wrigley had to explain in his response why certain information was not available.”
Item: From Wisconsin Public Radio: “An attorney for Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, told a Dane County judge that Vos had turned over between 10,000 and 20,000 deleted emails in response to an open records lawsuit filed by a liberal watchdog group. But the judge in the case said Thursday that there was no point in continuing to try to search Vos’ private email or phone for messages he may have deleted months ago. The open records case is one of three filed in Dane County Circuit Court by the group American Oversight involving Vos and the investigation he authorized into the 2020 presidential election. Judge Valerie Bailey-Rihn is handling two of the cases. In one of them, she held Vos in contempt last week for ‘willfully (violating) a court order’ to produce records related to the investigation.”
