From IdahoStatesman:
Culver aides had said the governor and Lt. Gov. Patty Judge used private e-mail accounts and computers to ensure they didn’t violate state laws banning public officials from using public e-mail accounts for political or personal purposes.
But public records advocates had scoffed at their claims.
“Why doesn’t the governor just use his state e-mail account for government matters and his private account for personal and family matters and err on the side of disclosure?” asked Herb Strentz, a retired professor at Drake University in Des Moines who studies public records issues.
