House Speaker Joe Hackney's staff lawyer is reviewing public records law following a request to release e-mail messages and other electronic records of former Rep. David Almond.
Almond, a Stanly County Republican, resigned last week after a state employee made an allegation against him.
A Hackney spokesman said the preliminary findings point to keeping the records secret, based on legislative immunity and laws that exempt personal information that could be in Almond's e-mail. Hackney and his staff are still talking about it.

Re: Almond files
Lynn,
Why don't you just request all lawmakers emails period. It would probably give us a better idea of what was going on in Raleigh. And if they are open records we ought to be able to see them. Right?
