Why Greg Abbott refuses to release his emails with Elon Musk
www.texastribune.org
external-link
The governor’s office said some of the correspondence with the billionaire and his companies contains “intimate” information that isn’t of “legitimate concern to the public.”

This part is wild:

    He argued they include private exchanges with lawyers, details about policy-making decisions and information that would reveal how the state entices companies to invest here. Releasing them to the public, he wrote, “would have a chilling effect on the frank and open discussion necessary for the decision-making process.”

    Holy shit, that’s definitely an argument in favor of making it public.

    The fact any of these bozos use digital comms (email, whatever) for anything sensitive is mind-boggling.

    Maybe it’s cause I’m a “digital native” (sort of?) or whatever they call it. Old enough to have a childhood without widespread internet, but young enough to learn it easily. Do these dudes just not have the internal switch that realizes “email is forever”???

    So, it cannot be requested under the Freedom of Information Act? Can’t that be escalated to a lawsuit?
