Gov. Rick Perry is generally considered to be a friend of the transparency movement, but is working to shield his staff’s emails from public view by continuing a policy of deleting emails after 7 days. Open records advocates asked the Travis County district attorney to place an injunction on behalf of Wisconsin resident John Washburn, after he created a computer program to request all email traffic from Gov. Perry’s staff. Texas law states the records cannot be destroyed once they are requested.

The Travis County DA refused to halt the governor’s policy. Larsen has asked Attorney General Greg Abbott to take action on the matter.
The continuation of this policy confirms two things:

Governor Perry, please get back on the transparency bandwagon and preserve the right of citizens to find out what is happening in their government.
