Joe Miller will not appeal the court ruling that the Fairbanks North Star Borough must release his employment records today.

Miller told interviewer Steve Heimel on APRN's "Talk of Alaska" this morning that he wouldn't appeal the ruling by Fairbanks Superior Court Judge Winston Burbank. Miller told Heimel he "has not been perfect."

The judge ordered the records released at 4 p.m. today unless Miller appealed to the Alaska Supreme Court. Miller indicated on "Talk of Alaska" that some information could be coming out before 4 p.m but he didn't explain what he meant.

Media organizations have been seeking Miller's borough employment records since this summer and sued to get them. The judge said about two dozen documents sought in the suit shouldn't be released for privacy and other reasons. Medical information in some documents will be blacked out.

1. Okay, so he won't appeal it; will he comply with it?

Or is this Miller's "come and get me, coppers" moment?

2. It will be released by the borough, not Miller

3. I should read more carefully

You're right, it's not up to Miller to release the records, which leads me to wonder why he had standing to block the release in the first place? Mr. Miller seems to be an awfully private person for someone running for public office.
