Blunt in trouble
Missouri Governor Matt Blunt is in hot water over a former employee who says he was forced out for trying to get the administration to follow the law. Here's an overview of the scandal:
Eckersley: Hey boss, I don't think you're retaining emails as public records like you're supposed to.
Blunt: Guess, what. You're fired.
Eckersley: Hey reporters, the governor fired me for telling him he was breaking the law.
Reporters: WTF, Blunt?
Blunt: No, he never mentioned mentioned anything of the sort to me. And not all emails are state records.
Reporters: Uh, yeah they are. Have you read the Sunshine Law?
Blunt: Anyways, I fired him because he was working on an outside project on State time.
Eckersley: It was 2 hours of work over 9 months. And I had permission from my boss.
Blunt: Well, we really fired him because there were dirty emails in his inbox.
Reporters: Dude, that's called spam. You don't know anything about computers, do you?
Blunt: Scott Eckersley does drugs.
Eckersley: The hell I do. Hey, Matt, remember that email I sent your staff telling them to stop deleting emails because it's against the law?
Blunt: No such email exists.
Eckersley: I have a copy of it right here.
Blunt: I don't, because I delete my emails. Crap, uh, attention state bar association, I'd like to file a complaint against Scott Eckersley because he repeated his private advise to me in public.
Everyone: So, you're admitting that he discussed email retention with you?
Blunt: Oh, shit.
