The mayor’s office has twice rejected totally every-day requests to see emails between the mayor’s office and Cathie Black, the short-time Schools Chancellor, while she was employed at Hearst Publications (as well as with any other people at Hearst). The reasoning? The documents are exempt from disclosure because they’re inter- or intra-agency communications. That’s weird, I guess we all own part of Cosmo now? Anyway, now the City is being sued for the emails, quite rightly.
