Boston City Government Discovers Email Retention
An anonymous reader writes "The Boston Globe, covering a battle to unseat the 16-year incumbent mayor, has found out that the city has no email retention policy. A city official who receives hundreds of emails a day was found to have only 18 emails in his mailbox. The city has enabled journaling on its Exchange server in response. The Globe also notes that they had to curtail requests for emails under the Open Records law because for each mailbox, 'City officials estimated they would charge $5,000 for six months worth of email.'"
I know that the Republicans saw it as a huge victory when Clinton was impeached basically for having an extramarital affair (and don't tell me that it was for perjury; it was his personal life that was on trial),
I actually think the Republicans had a legitimate complaint about the lying-under-oath part; Clinton did effectively perjur himself. Of course, the series of investigations that put him into that position were completely frivolous. And I say that as someone who still thinks Clinton was one of the best presidents we've ever had (with Bush being the worst. Ever.)
Glad you believe that but it's distraction by the "right". Rather than address issues like relaxing reporting requirements for banks and investment firms for 20 years, rather than discuss the merits of continual corporate buyouts and the affect of corporate raiders on long term manufacturing base (oh wait, the fat cats got their money and we lost?) we worry about if the President diddled the secretary.
where was our moral outrage at heads of investment banks that needed to be bailed out... but their "private" citizens so it didn't matter? Where was Congressional outrage on their lavish lifestyles that lasted more than 5 minutes? People that read the Bible are blessed with being Rich... and if you don't live "morally" you deserve to be Poor... and Poor are poor because their immoral or not moral enough to be rich... that's the US believe system in a nutshell.
