If you really want to do the records request any joe blow can do it.

I'm positive many media outlets and interested citizens have made public records requests about this. That's as sure as death and taxes.

It would be comedy gold to see all the emails and texts that went around on this one.

Here's the problem that may pop up. A fair argument could be made that alot of those conversations are attorney client privileged because the Admin and the PAO are all up this together and it would benefit many many people to have those conversations never see the light of day. And not just for this issue. People say all kinds of stupid shite in emails and texts and people get divorced etc and they may not have had a damn thing to do with this but got their lives ruined by a public records request that exposes an affair or something out of context etc. I try to seperatey work from my personal email but I can't tell you I'm perfect with it. Imagine all the dumb shite in your texts and emails. Lord they would cart me off to the loony farm and go round up all my friends. If you were a contact in my phone, they'd prolly start watching you.

They will absolutely claim attorney client privilege on all that shite. It may do the trick. Maybe Landry's office or the Feds could tell them to shove that up their arse, but you and I would have a hard time doing anything about it. If The Advocate or Biz Report or at least a decent sized media company doesn't raise shite, then maybe that just passed muster and it goes away. You won't find anyone from BRAF or any of these other acronym people clamoring to have emails leaked about a damn thing.

My argument against that is the PAO actually falls under the authority of the Council, not the Mayor's Office. She's not technically their client. The Metro Council is.

If this is going to be must see TV, it's the Council who's gotta become the producer. This thing could sweep the daytime Emmie's. If we can get this thing to Dee Dee Slaughter type of insanity, I think that's a reasonable goal here. We could possibly overperform. I'm hopeful.

Disclaimer, I'm not a lawyer and I've never stayed at a Holiday Inn Express but I have been to many regular holiday inns and it's a quality and affordable brand. Highly recommend for the poors.
