[edit] City Council gets order temporarily blocking publication of e-mails

"Civil District Court Judge Lloyd Medley Jr. today issued a temporary restraining order preventing lawyer Tracie Washington from "distributing, discussing, or transferring to any other person or legal entity" thousands of e-mails written by, or sent to, four City Council members and their staffers during the past three years.

Washington was given the e-mails by Sanitation Director Veronica White in response to a public records request without any involvement of the city attorney or knowledge of the council. The council's attorney, Steven Lane, requested the injunction, saying the council believes the e-mails contain private information."
