Katz says Corzine emails shouldn't be disclosed because they touched on negotiations
By Matt Friedman, PolitickerNJ.com ReporterFormer union leader and gubernatorial ex-girlfriend Carla Katz has filed a legal brief saying that the emails she exchanged with Gov. Corzine should be kept private because they touched on union negotiations, reports the Associated Press.
Katz attorney Paul Fishman argued that the some of the emails made “in connection with” contract negotiations don’t have to be disclosed, while the rest of the correspondence is private.
Republican State Chairman Tom Wilson is suing to make the emails public, believing that they should be public information. Corzine cited executive privilege. Wilson won the initial phase of the lawsuit, but Corzine appealed.

huh?
Those are only kept undisclosed until the contract is signed, or soon after anyway. Even executive sessions under the Sunshine laws eventually are public record.
Katz acted Correctly
Carla Katz had one obligation during those negotiations. She was trying to get the best deal possible for her Union. Her CWA " friends" were selling the membership down the road by agreeing , with little argument, to a contract that was full of givebacks. Katz tried to circumvent them by e-mailing the Governor.
Good for her! She was doing her job.
Corzine had been told by his negotiation group, the Genova firm , to stay away from the negotiations and to not talk to anyone who was involved in the negotiations. It was not Katz's fault that he opened and answered the e-mails. He knew better and was advised better.
Corzine has to take the heat for his poor judgement. Katz was only doing her best to get a faie contract and she was fighting not only the Genova people but also those shortsighted CWA people who just wanted a quick contract.
negotiations?
Did Corzine have to pay her to sleep with him.?
