[edit] E-mail ruling weakens public accountability
"The ruling that withheld e-mails written by Burlington city employees -- on city computers on city time -- from the public, despite recognizing that they are public documents, show just how much further Vermont has to go with its open government laws.
Washington Country Superior Court Judge Brian Grearson said the e-mails show a relationship that constitute a conflict of interest, but they will be kept from the public because the exchanges are of a "highly personal nature.""
