U.S. Bankruptcy Judge John Waites issued an order Monday stating that the letters deal with the official duties of the governor and therefore are public records.

Huh? Sure, they are public records if they are in the hands of the government, but that shouldn't mean that the government can steal them from whoever owns them.

Does that mean that if a congressman ever wrote you a letter, that some day the government can come and take it from me?

The utter arrogance of many government officials is astounding. This poor guy should have moved out of the state (maybe the Country) and then auctioned them. I pray they are given back to him. I despise the way so many government officials just roll over the small guy. A certain kind of elitist mindset is in place for one to do these things to law abiding citizens. So many of these parasites in government think it is their duty to "rule" over us.

The CONTENT is public record. The man's bankruptcy estate should be compensated for taking the originals.
