Corzine Dirt to Come
Last week, New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine lost a round in his legal battle to keep private his emails with Carla Katz, his former girlfriend. Their relationship, which ended in 2004, drew considerable attention, especially as Corzine conducted contract negotiations with the public employees union of which Katz is president.
A judge ruled on Friday that most of the emails they exchanged during the negotiations had to be made public within two weeks. The state attorney general will appeal.
And here's why you gotta love lawyers:
But the Attorney General's Office plans to challenge Superior Court Judge Paul Innes' ruling, arguing both that the e-mail messages are private correspondence, and that they are protected by executive privilege.
GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
