A previous story in Carolina Journal Online described my efforts to obtain e-mail records from Gov. Easley’s top aide Franklin Freeman. At the first meeting of Easley’s E-Mail Records Review Panel, Freeman stated that he didn’t send e-mail but he did receive it.

My request for all of Freemans’ e-mails for October and November of 2004 was honored earlier this week when I receive a package with a total of 8 e-mail messages.  At today’s meeting of the panel I asked Freeman why there were only 8 messages for a two month period. He said that was all that were saved.
