[edit] N.J. governor wins e-mail case
"A New Jersey court decision released Monday says Gov. Jon Corzine does not have to release e-mails he exchanged with his girlfriend.
The appeals court ruing said Corzine had "properly asserted executive privilege" in his refusal to release the messages between himself and Carla Katz, who at the time was also the president of a state employees union.
A lower court had ordered the release of the e-mails on the grounds they were public records, but The (Newark, N.J.) Star-Ledger said the appellate judges agreed with Katz that the communications were private because they included some correspondence about contract negotiations between her union and the state."
