Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Massachusetts
Access email of public officials
It is believed the Town Manager may be involved in some unethical dealings with special interest groups. Can the public request a copy of his emails? Can the public request emails of persons the Town Manager was in email correspondence with (non-town affiliated persons)? Is there a limit to how far back I can request emails (one year? length of project in question?) Should an attorney be hired to request the emails? Is there a Mass. Statute I must follow? Thanks in advance...JD
