Palin sued for private e-mails about state business

[Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi>]

"In a lawsuit filed in Alaska Superior Court, a Republican activist seeks to force Gov. Sarah Palin to produce copies 
of official correspondence she sent and received on private e-mail accounts.

Andrée McLeod filed the suit Wednesday and publicized it in a news release today. 
"Rather than using her state e-mail account, throughout her two-year tenure as Governor of Alaska, defendant Sarah 
Palin, as a matter of routine, has used, and,
on information and belief, continues to use, (at least) two private e-mail accounts... to conduct official business of 
the State of Alaska," the suit alleges.

The suit is the latest front in a battle McLeod is waging over Palin's e-mail. 
In June, she filed an open-records request and received four boxes of redacted e-mails."

And the article continues stating
"Last week, The Washington Post reported that Palin maintained an additional private e-mail account,
which she used to communicate with a small circle of staff members outside the state government's secure official 
e-mail system, according to sources at the Wasilla company that established the system."
