Public access to government records extends to e-mails on public officials' private computers, the New Jersey Government Records Council has ruled, saying, "[T]he definition of a government record is not restricted by the location of the record." At issue is a mix of personal, business and official e-mails on computers owned by Fair Lawn, N.J., mayor David Ganz, which the government will read to determine which are public. Ganz compares it to "how you would feel if someone went through your underwear."
