[edit] Deletions of Nagin's old emails violate his administration's own policy

"The decision by Mayor Ray Nagin's administration to delete virtually every e-mail sent and received by Nagin last year was not only an apparent violation of the state public-records law, it also flies in the face of a detailed policy recommendation prepared less than a year ago by the mayor's own technology office.

A memo titled "Proposed Alterations of E-mail Policies, " dated May 13, is posted on the city's Web site. The document offers a long list of suggestions, including sections devoted to e-mail retention and the recovery of deleted e-mail via the use of backup systems."
