New Jersey Supreme Court reviews Governor’s executive privilege in the case of e-mail privacy
By: Mary Fuchs
The New Jersey Supreme Court may decide whether Governor Corzine can invoke executive privilege to keep his emails private. The communications in question were sent to union leader Carla Katz. Corzine dated her before he took office. Corzine says the e-mails didn’t touch on state contract negotiations with the union Katz represents, but Katz has contradicted that claim in her own attempt to keep the e-mails secret. WHYY’s Mary Fuchs reports.
