Star LedgerThey say governor must release more
BY JOSH MARGOLIN
Republican leaders said they won a small victory yesterday after attorneys for Gov. Jon Corzine agreed to explain in detail how they searched computer systems for e-mails between the governor and his ex-girlfriend, state-worker union leader Carla Katz.
At issue was whether the Corzine administration complied with an order to turn over all the e-mails to state Superior Court Judge Paul Innes so he could determine which -- if any -- should be made public. Republicans, as part of their lawsuit against the Democratic governor, argued Corzine's office had violated Innes' order because they did not fully explain how they searched for the e-mails.
"They lost today," state Republican Chairman Tom Wilson said after the half-hour hearing in Superior Court in Trenton. Wilson and his attorney, Mark Sheridan, said the ruling was key because they expect additional e-mails to be turned over once the details of the search are elaborated for the court.
State Law Divison Director Robert Gilson, one of the attorneys representing the governor, downplayed yesterday's development, saying the administration simply has to "explain what has been done." Gilson, however, added any additional e-mails found would be turned over.
