Efficient or evasive? New email policies test MN government openness
...
Considering that we appear to have one of the most digitally with it
councilmembers in the country, hopefully this trend will be rebuffed at our
borders.
We can't have elected officials with indefinite Facebook archives from all
their constituent and peer to peer communication while our civil servants
have the email automatically purged in six months (if we adopted the Saint
Paul model). I can't imagine working effectively in the digital age without
email searches going back as far as possible to find what I need.
