About as easy as spelling "too" and yet people don't always do it.



Touche! But it's not too hard to "try". I have a webmail for personal, a webmail for shopping and other net activities like this one, and a domain email (hosted by Google) for my business. Occasionally there's bleedover if I make a mistake, and it can be hard to set someone straight once they've gotten the wrong one for their category, but in general it works. I don't see how a politician with presumably far more motivation to keep their worlds apart can't even try. There's plenty of ways to manage multiple accounts, including dual SIM phones.

don't people tend to use (or even abuse) their work email for personal use rather than the other way around?

I guess at least Jersey City elected or appointed officials don't do that.

I think there is a difference between allowing a privilege to attach, however, and saying that any record of communication with a constituent is a "record" as defined under OPRA, meaning that it has to be preserved and given to the public upon request.


That should be disclosed though? Right?

Interested in your take on this question: should councilor-constituent communication be protected in the same way that attorney-client communication is protected? Should a constituent be able to request anonymity or confidentiality?

And if not - shouldn't all council-related email come with "full disclosure" - any info provided may be made public and possibly expose the constituent to the full force of the law?

As a lawyer - you see the conflict here?

Considering that I own a domain and pay for that hosting...

There is no such thing as allocating memory to an email address. But, you *can* allocate storage space (and/or specify storage limits) for mailboxes. An email address is not the same as an email mailbox.

Lastly, yes, you are correct on hosting. You can split your mail servers from your website hosting servers. I don't believe that it's all that easy as you'd need someone to configure it and maintain it. But that is really all I said that was wrong and it's based more on past experience...


Again, you don't know what you don't know. There is nothing to split off or maintain. Email services and hosting is governed by something called an MX record. This is simply an entry of your DNS record. You can delegate or point your DNS MX record to any server or provider. So long as that provider is expecting your traffic, it will handle your email traffic. The maintenance and hosting is part of the fee you pay for the service, which is usually billed on a per mailbox fee.

Regardless, there is NO EXCUSE whatsoever to use that as a justification to allow government employees, especially higher ups, to use personal email addresses when conducting city business.

As IT costs and budgets continue to grow across all industries, there is a very valid argument for local governments to outsource some of those functions to private providers.


It's $3.50/address/month on Office 365 for government (just email, other stuff can run more).

If something doesn't work, the answer isn't to just shrug and break the law, it is to fix it. Especially when there are simple, inexpensive solutions staring you in the face.


Exactly, moobycow! This is such a simple, cheap solution. Even if JC had 1,000 email users, the annual costs would be $42,000, which is less than half the salary of an email administrator. Heck, even if the city had 5,000 employees that needed email addresses, the costs would be justified when you factor in hardware and software costs, as well as yearly licensing costs. This is a no brainer, really.

It really isn?t that simple though the cost wouldn?t be nearly that much.

You can?t just have emails handled if you?re going to use the same domain as your website. You?d need an entire hosting solution from website on down to email.

Additionally, just because they pay for hosting does not mean they wouldn?t need administrators. Someone would need to setup the accounts, maintain the accounts, distribute memory to each account, etc.

Hillary is now dead in the water, she can't/won't recover from this. Even her own 'press conference' responses were not true, and she doubled down on keeping her server private.

So who's up? The Boston Cherokee? The two term Governor of Maryland who couldn't get his second in command elected on his way out? The self described Socialist from Vermont, Bernie Sanders? Or maybe some will push for the repeal of the 22nd Amendment, lol?

After all, it's ok for Hillary! And everyone else does it!

He already uses his personal email to conduct business. If he wants to get a server on his own and take on the expense, sure, but since we all know the type of scumbag that he is, he likely won?t do what Hillary did and pay for it herself. He?d do what he always does and force the bill onto the taxpayers.

It isn?t ?OK? because everyone does it. I was merely pointing out that everyone does it without a qualifier.

Sometimes these e-mails overlap. A colleague who I have dealt with at one firm will often send, out of habit, an e-mail to a matter I am handling through the other firm. I also sometimes get business e-mails to one of my personal accounts or personal e-mail to a work account.

The best course of action is to redirect any such conversations through the proper e-mail address. Does that always happen? Not always, but I try to.

I can understand that elected officials who have more than one account may have people send e-mails to an official non-business account. I have e-mailed councilpersons and my e-mail automatically populates the field with the personal or the campaign e-mail rather than the official e-mail, or vice versa. Again, I try to correct this but it doesn't always happen. A meticulous representative would redirect the e-mail, but not being meticulous does not necessarily equate to being corrupt.

If a constituent send a handwritten letter by snail mail and mailed it to an official's home address because they happen to know it, I don't think it would be improper if the official wrote a reply on their personal stationary and mailed it from home, rather than go over to the office and pen a response on official letterhead. Similarly, if I know someone's personal cell phone, I don't necessarily think it's wrong to call that number up if I need to reach that person even if it is for "official" business and they have a number at City Hall.

If an elected official, or city staffer, is regularly using personal accounts to circumvent laws that require open records, that's a problem. But given the way people use e-mail, one can't assume outright that any e-mail to/from the official's personal e-mail is being done to circumvent anything.

Lastly, although we have a broad Open Public Records Act, I do have to question as to whether any conversation between officials or between constituents and officials necessarily has to be disclosed as official business. Open and transparent government does not necessarily mean we have to be privy to every conversation that an official has on a matter. Records do need to be preserved, because even if something is not subject to OPRA or FOIA it can be potentially relevant in a law enforcement investigation. But I do not think City officials such as Robert Byrne are lacking in transparency or hiding anything when they express frustration that there's a group of people who, for sensationalist or vindictive purposes, make serial requests for city officials' e-mail records on a regular basis.

Given the proliferation of e-mail, and the ability to preserve it, maybe that's the new normal. Whether that's a good thing or not, I'm not sure.

Thank you!

While I don't think a lot of these accounts are done with the intent to hide information, I think that it becomes a side benefit at times.

As you rightly point out, a lot of times when you type in the email to someone the address used most often comes up. So if there is someone they talked to regularly prior to the election, they are probably just emailing them at the address they've used prior.

If I were an elected official, the last places I would entrust with my email are Google or Microsoft.

city staff uses city email and not their personal email. elected officials are city employees. though they may think themselves better, they are not.

do these same elected officials use their personal email for their other or outside employment? unlikely.

values and ethics.

Regardless, there is NO EXCUSE whatsoever to use that as a justification to allow government employees, especially higher ups, to use personal email addresses when conducting city business. Moving the city email service to a privately hosted solution (such as Microsoft Office 365, or Google Mail for Business) is SUPER easy and cost effective. Incredibly so, actually. As IT costs and budgets continue to grow across all industries, there is a very valid argument for local governments to outsource some of those functions to private providers.

Google "cloud hosted email" - plenty of good solutions out there like Office 365.

Christie should INSTANTLY get a private server, based in the basement of his house in Mendham, for all official and private messaging, and every weekend replace the memory storage and destroy the old storage.

After all, it's ok for Hillary! And everyone else does it!

As I said in the thread about Menendez which turned into a Hillary thread... Every politician does it.

For one, it allows for publicly disclosed emails to be selected and for two, it's easier to use an account you're comfortable with.

I don't approve of it, but everyone does it.

That puts a politician at risk if they are opera over a particular issue and that politician used their personal email.

Like Hillary, Jersey City mayor and officials use private email to conduct public business

By Terrence T. McDonald | The Jersey Journal The Jersey Journal

JERSEY CITY -- As Hillary Clinton faces scrutiny over her use of a private email account to handle government business, some local public officials are defending their own use of private email accounts while on the job.

The officials -- including Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop and former Gov. Jim McGreevey, who runs Jersey City's prisoner reentry program -- offered a variety of reasons for why they use private email accounts, including age.

"I'm going to be 58 years old and am fortunate I know how to use one email account," McGreevey said in a statement from the city spokeswoman.
