Beginning Saturday, the city of St. Paul will automatically delete employee
emails from their inboxes after six months. City workers have been
encouraged to do the same even sooner.

"Don't save messages that are no longer useful," states the city's new
records retention training guide. "Delete as soon as their purpose is
served."

The city's new records retention policy has raised eyebrows among
open-records advocates, journalists, archivists and others who feel that
internal communications at City Hall should be subject to public scrutiny
well into the future.

"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.
