Republicans in Arizona's Legislature have voted along party lines to approve new rules that will allow state lawmakers to destroy emails after 90 days and delete text messages as quickly as they arrive.
PHOENIX — Republicans in Arizona's Legislature have voted along party lines to approve new rules that will allow state lawmakers to destroy emails after 90 days and delete text messages as quickly as they arrive.
Changing a rule bypasses the need to approve legislation that could be vetoed by new Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs. A public records watchdog criticized the rule change, saying the public has a right to know the content of elected lawmakers' electronic communications. But Democratic Leader Andres Cano, representing Tucson, said the new rules ignore existing public records law.
