Bob CrumleyBob Crumley is requesting public records involving the creation of the state's e-mail deletion policy.

A press release calls the current e-mail policy "another example of Roy Cooper's failure of leadership."

An Asheboro attorney, Crumley is running for attorney general against Cooper.

Crumley says the current policy gives too much freedom to state employees in deciding whether to delete e-mails or save them.

He doesn't think the ability to destroy public records should be allowed without oversight, saying this ability is a violation of the state public records law.

Crumley is requesting "any and all public records related to the creation of this policy," but has not indicated what he hopes to find in the records.

Hope Crumley will Get ElectriCities and Jesse Tilton records

Submitted by electrify on April 5, 2008 - 11:00pm.

I agree. I hope Mr. Crumley will persue Jesse Tilton at ElectriCities. There is a rate committee meeting June 27 at 10 am in Rocky Mount and people need to attend. ElectriCities acts like their meetings are secret. The CEO has demanded calendars "be hidden." And there are reports he has asked for, in the past, money for himself and staff to give to legislators and got it in the past. More recently, people have heard he asked for a $50,000 boost to give as contributions. This would be on top of his $500,000 salary, of course.

So, now we hear, electric rates are going up due to a bad refinancing deal. And that Tilton blamed the CFO and he is now retiring.

Since there have been "secret" raises and "secret" changes in staff and "secret" settlements, this public entity needs to be investigated. How much of our money has been thrown away by this man.

When did Tilton know that the refinacing was "bad" and why did he wait so long to tell and why is it so long to this meeting. Why has there been 75% turnover in government relations, with Dan Crawforde and Ken Melton leaving suddenly a few weeks ago? These guys, like others before them, had strong credentials.

Lots of secrets. Little information. And, a Board that is not acting in the interest of the taxpayers.

I Mr. Crumley will also request some records from Jesse Tilton at ElectriCities. We have been told electric rates are going up due to a bad refinancing deal. Of course we know no details. It is all a big "secret," which is humerous for a public entity. We already know there were "secret" settlements made so the CEO could avoid embarrassment by losing some lawsuits. So, seems it would be prudent to protect the eastern NC taxpayers by assessing the relationships with bond underwriters, why the CFO Al Conyers is "suddenly" retiring on top of this issue, why 75% of the government relations team has left over the past 5 years, including two former congressional staffers who were there and left suddenly a couple of weeks ago, one after only being there a couple of months. And, why taxpayers have not been told there is an issue and why cities were suddenly told 6 months into the issue. I encourage everyone to attend the Rate Committee Meeting in Rocky Mount June 27 at 10 am (Braswell Library) so if you live in one of the 32 eastern cities, you can see where your money is going and why. We would appreciate Mr. Crumley stepping up to look into these issues.
