City councilmembers' e-mails

Here's a first: Public e-mails for elected officials in the city.
This action, of course, doesn't excuse Councilwoman Suzanne Tucker from releasing her past e-mails in which she conducted the public's business, according to the California Public Records Act.
"The people of this state do not yield their sovereignty to the
agencies which serve them. The people, in delegating authority, do not give
their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know
and what is not good for them to know. The people insist they may retain control
over the instruments they have created."
