FAIRBANKS -- A judge ruled today that the Fairbanks North Star Borough must release personnel records of Senate candidate Joe Miller.
In an unusual Saturday hearing, retired Superior Court Judge Winston Burbank ruled that the public's right to know about candidates outweighed Miller's right to privacy.
Burbank ordered no release until at least Tuesday, however, to allow Miller to appeal the decision to the Alaska Supreme Court. Some of the documents will be redacted, he said.
The case was brought by a group of Alaska news media organizations, who have been trying since summer to see borough documents concerning Miller's employment as a part-time borough attorney.
Miller, the Republican nominee, fought the release, arguing that any release of personnel records violated his privacy rights
Among the documents being sought are details of his resignation from the job last year, and any disciplinary actions taken against him while employed. Separate lawsuits were brought by the Alaska Dispatch and Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. The Daily News and Associated Press joined, and the suits were combined. Among the arguments for release was that the state Supreme Court, in earlier cases, has ruled that candidates for office expose their private lives to public scrutiny.

...retired Superior Court Judge Winston Burbank ruled that the public's right to know about candidates outweighed Miller's right to privacy. Maybe this "retired" judge could force Barry to give up his birth certificate. I won't hold my breath. This kind of commie crap only applies to conservatives and Republicans.

The case was brought by a group of Alaska news media organizations, who have been trying since summer to see borough documents concerning Miller's employment as a part-time borough attorney. The same folks who have ZERO INTEREST in Obama's past? Hey, if it is important for a Senator, then it is critical for POTUS. Too bad that is a state and not a Federal judge/

So glad this group was on top of zeros records too. Oh, they weren’t? I am shocked! Sounds like this is the judge to bring the open records lawsuit to see zeros records then.

A potential linkage between Winston Burbank and Lisa Murkowski should be pursued ASAP.
To: library user
Maybe they should bring a case asking for obamas info in Alaska. I mean since this ruling establishes a precedent or something like that.
