A Wisconsin appeals court has affirmed that officials must provide copies of electronic records in their original format. The decision, released Wednesday, upholds a lower court’s order requiring state Rep. Scott Krug, R-Wisconsin Rapids, to turn over electronic copies of emails requested by The Progressive magazine editor Bill Lueders. Krug printed out copies of the emails Lueders requested to read and refused a follow-up request for the electronic records, saying the paper copies were “substantially as readable” as the originals. In a unanimous decision, the appeals court wrote, “Krug’s appeal falters right out of the gate due to his erroneous reading” of state law, which says the “substantially as readable” provision applies only when the requester shows up in person, which Lueders did not.

Quentin Jackson spoke at length about malfunctions of the Town of Hertford’s (NC) computer systems during a meeting Monday, making eye contact with all of his fellow council members except one. His nemesis, Sid Eley. An actual wall separates them since the two argued after a meeting in October and a punch was thrown. Jackson has appealed a district court conviction in January of striking a government official, “hitting him on the left side of the temple with a closed fist,” according to a court document. “He got into my face,” Jackson, 33, said earlier Monday.
