A panel reviewing the North Carolina state government policies on e-mails recommended messages be stored for at least five years and suggested that state employees be better trained on complying with the public records law. The panel was appointed by the governor after allegations that his press office had ordered systematic destruction of e-mails. Several newspapers have sued the governor. (5/16/08)
