Hillary Clinton used her personal email while Secretary of State, and it's not clear that we'll ever know if she's been forthcoming with all the emails she should be disclosing. Andrew Cuomo's administration is purging emails earlier than many good government advocates say they should. What is the public's right to know? How can we be sure our government leaders are preserving records properly?
On top of that, we'll examine how reporters handle Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests -- cases that involve freedom-of-information laws. Are those requests being handled properly? How quickly do government agencies respond? In studio we'll have two reporters who utilize FOIL requests more than most:
- David Riley, Democrat & Chronicle
- Rachel Barnhart, WROC-TV
We'll also talk with Robert Freeman, executive director of the New York State Committee on Open Government.
