For example, how does the governor's office respond to a request to provide all e-mails from Feb. 1-4th? I would think that the office gets hundreds of e-mails a day, many of which are junk, spam, blanket e-mails sent to all elected officials, etc. Are they required to keep all of that and then have it ready for dissemination upon request? And how long do they have to keep all this stuff? I would think most offices simple delete the junk, no? How does the sunshine law really work?
