John Wonderlich, Policy Director for the Sunlight Foundation, is being interviewd on Cspan and he mentions this about Willard. During his years as Governor Romney used his personal E-mail for government business. That made the records of his transactions his personal property, not the states, and so when he left office he was able to simply destroy all of the records - making them unavailable for freedom of information requests. So the public has no access to records of the public's business. Nice.

16. According to some reports

he was following precedent in Mass - other governors etc. did the same thing and Politifact said it was not unusual or illegal. It stinks IMO, but <shrug> may not hold political water.

He tries to obliterate his trail but leaves too much scorched earth to hide deception. Seriously, would you trust this man with the wellbeing of the nation? What is he hiding besides dollars in overseas accounts?

Where are Obama's college records? Why is his record in the Illinois senate kept hidden?

Do you DUmmies really want to bring up things that Romney may be hiding? :mental:

Of course, because demanding equal data from both candidates is racist...or something - but mostly racist !

Aren't the liberals always screaming about equality? Oh wait, that is only if you are equal to what they think you should be.

As long as you have a 'D' after your name, you don't have to. Showing records is only a requirement of the people with an 'R' after their name.

A former Massachusetts political operative, who spoke on condition he not be identified, said state office holders began to take precautions to cleanse their official files after John Kerry, now a U.S. Senator, deposited in the state archives uncensored records of his term as Massachusetts Lieutenant Governor in the early 1980s. They were later exploited by his political enemies.

Quote
In response to an inquiry by Reuters, his spokeswoman Andrea Saul said the former governor "followed precedent in the handling of documents in his office and there was nothing unusual about it.

"It was all done in accordance with the law, and approved by an independent board overseen by the Democratic Secretary of State. Additionally, he voluntarily transferred 700 boxes of documents to the state archives, more than any prior governor," Saul said.

Better be careful here Sunggs. Two burly guys in colorful underware may show up at your hutch if you keep plugging away at the RI connection posing as Latter Day Saints.

OTOH comparing the MA troopers to the corrupt Mexican police? Meh, could be. :rotf: :rotf:
