I argue both for the public's right to know and for the public's right to feel weirded out, which may actually tie together. Did this program collapse in 2005, in part, because of what appears an unstructured relationship between an elected official and a subordinate? It's fair to ask. One other question: What were these two thinking? This is the kind of cyberchatter that can and does cost private sector employees their jobs. As Douglas said last week, in a considerable understatement, "It was a mistake to use my e-mail in such an informal way and I sincerely apologize." Attorney General Lawrence Wasden, to his credit, has logged considerable miles going around the state to teach local officials about what the state Public Records Act requires of them. Does someone else need to follow up with a remedial lesson in the appropriate, professional use of e-mail?
