As North Carolina state government grapples with the proper policy for retaining e-mail records, the John Locke Foundation’s Shaftesbury Society heard a presentation today on two computer records scandals that rocked Washington in the last two presidential administrations.
N.C. State University associate professor Ed Gehringer discussed his research into the missing Clinton administration e-mail messages of 1998 and a flap over congressional e-mail records during the Bush administration.
Audience members also asked Gehringer for his thoughts about the best policy for retaining state records.
