State To Weigh In On Boston’s E-Mail Recovery Efforts
BOSTON — Boston city officials are meeting with Secretary of State William Galvin on Tuesday to discuss their compliance with an order to turn over thousands of e-mails deleted by a top aide to Mayor Thomas Menino.
The city recovered thousands of e-mails from the mayor’s chief of policy and planning, Michael Kineavy. However, officials said recovering e-mails to or from people outside City Hall could cost $250,000.
“We want to make sure all the records are preserved to the extent possible. So while they made progress, we certainly believe there’s room for further progress,” Galvin said.
Under state law, public employee e-mail must be preserved for two years.

[...] State to weigh in on Boston’s e-mail recovery efforts [...]
To Whom has a REAL Concern about our Goverment Issues :
I have been listening to WBUR but, I live in Cincinnati, Ohio. I am just finishing a 5.6 Million dollar TIF / Public road/infrastructure and have had trouble with our city goverment misappropriating $1,500,000 that I guarenteed. I also requested the Freedom of Information act to retrive city communications and financial accouting. They have “Withheld” a fired department head’s E-Mails and the accounting. This article is very similar in city control of PUBLIC Info and goverment misappropriation of the issues !
I would be happy to discuss further the complicated challenges I have faced by my disfuctional goverment entities. We have no one to help “right” these issues without the public knowing what really happens outside of the news. An interesting point is that the project I am discussing will have created close to 300 JOBS in 2009. I am also planning to create 80 JOBS in the City of Boston in 2010.
Sincerely, A Battered Developer in a Very Bad econmic state of affairs,
