[edit] Board says state's communication is public

"The State Records Committee ruled Thursday that communications between state attorneys -- when representing agencies on opposing sides of a case -- are public and not protected under attorney-client privilege or attorney work product.

The 3-2 decision came after members reviewed the requested documents, including e-mails and attachments, behind closed doors.

At issue were communications between assistant attorneys general who represent the state's Division of Finance and Criminal Appeals."
