Malloy order will require e-mail preservation

As we approach noon, a 20-minute snow shower is finishing it’s business with big chunky clumps of white stuff. Gov.-elect Dan Malloy’s press office just confirmed that one of the three executive orders he will issue this afternoon will require the retention and preservation of e-mails, ending the informal practice of the outgoing Rell administration called “double deletes.” The second executive order will confirm his campaign pledge to institute Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and thus further inflate the $3.5-billion deficit.
