JOPLIN, Mo.

A southwest Missouri newspaper's recent attempts to obtain emails from
three former public officials in Joplin resulted in two denials because the
records were wiped clean soon after the leaders left office.

The Joplin Globe, which requested the records, reported that the denials
raise questions because bulk deletion of a public official's email records
is inconsistent with retention rules established by the Missouri Secretary
of State's office and the Local Records Board. Emails, which are seen as
public documents, should only be deleted immediately after they have been
assessed — and only if the content has no public value — according to the
rules.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
