Easley Administration Sued Over Public Record Laws
Media organizations from across North Carolina have sued Gov. Mike Easley, charging that his administration violated the state’s public records law through the “systematic deletion, destruction or concealment” of e-mail messages.
The complaint filed Monday in Wake County Superior Court asks a judge to declare that Easley violated the law because his staff told cabinet agency employees to delete or destroy e-mails sent to and from the governor’s office.
