State government public information officers were instructed by Gov. Mike Easley's press office to delete e-mail to and from the Governor's Office, according to notes the Governor's Office released Saturday.
Andrew Vanore, a lawyer who works for Easley, produced notes made by two public information officers showing that they and others were told at a meeting May 29 to destroy e-mail messages. Vanore said a third public information officer, whom he would not identify, also recalled those instructions.
Vanore said, however, that the notes don't mean what they say. He also said the instructions were not followed.
The News & Observer had requested the notes of the periodic meetings of the public information officers.
Julia Jarema, public information officer at the Department of Crime Control and Public Safety, recorded this note for the meeting in question: "Public records request — increasing — careful of email — delete emails to/from gov. office every day". (more…)
