Text messages are not public records, Omaha City Attorney Paul Kratz said
in a letter dated Tuesday.

Kratz was responding to a World-Herald request for city-related text
messages to or from the mayor and City Council members

.

Kratz cited a Supreme Court opinion called Evertson v. City of Kimball and
argued that the city officials’ text messages don't apply to to the test
that came from that decision.

"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.
