State orders Menino to secure computers, find missing e-mails
By adamg on Mon, 09/14/2009 - 7:16pm
The Globe reports Secretary of State Bill Galvin, in charge of public-records enforcement, ordered the city of Boston to immediately secure its e-mail servers and hire a computer forensics expert to try to recover e-mail the mayor said today disappeared in a "glitch," but which opponents charge is evidence of a coverup of something.

City Stenographer. City Clerks Office.
Also take a look at the City Stenographer and City Clerks Office deleting content from the Minutes of public meetings of Boston City Council. Compare the stenographic machine record of public meetings of the Council with the all too brief arcane Council minutes at http://cityofboston.gov/citycouncil
OMG srsly?
Don, why do you have so many UHub accounts?
Also, I propose a new Saklad challenge. First person who garners a reply containing "I" or "me" wins.

ZOMG
I propose a challenge of my own!
A Don Saklad Good / Better image contest! I might even come up with my own entry.
Does Boston still retain a stenographer for council meetings?
I'd be surprised if they did, and there doesn't seem to be much mention of stenographers on the city's website. Some, yes, but no mention that makes me think they play a vital role in the record keeping of the city.
I look forward to being proven wrong.
They do
McCrea was on Nightside with Dan Rea last night and said that there is a contract with a stenographer - he thought the amount was about 90k per year - as he said not a bad gig for a one day a week job. Don called in - apparently he lives in Cambridge and when challenged by Dan as to whether or not the Cambridge city hall has a stenographer he did not know. Don - any update on whether Cambridge city council retains/disseminates stenographer's notes?
Where is Martha Coakley?
Way to go Secretary Galvin. I am not a Flaherty, Yoon or McCrea person. I think they are all idiots to tell you the truth and thing we should have someone more competent like the head of the Boston Foundation.
However, I think Martha Coakley will never, ever, ever get my vote because I know she will not even think about following her duty because she doesn't want to piss off the Mayor and his machine. I see the literature showing how tough she is with the soft issues, now lets see how she does with a "check your balls" situation.
Are you ready for primetime (i.e., the Senate seat) or not? Kennedy was every ready to take on the the battles. As RFK said, "Moral courage is a more rare commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence."

The Menino Administration is getting more tangled in their lies. They now have Dot Joyce lying about $1 million dollar upgrades to the e-mail system. Funny isn't it how everyone else's e-mail is backed up except one person....sounds fishy..
Folks this is common sense. All companies, non-profits, governments back up their computers in the event their is a shut down or whatever. They are backed up every day, week, month and year. This is done in case the whole system shut down or caught a virus SO that you would have everything saved or backed up.
Soooooooo.... the fact that one person's computer out of tens of thousands of city workers was not being backed up does not pass the smell test.
The fact is there was no glitch!! Kineavy deleted his stuff every day because he wanted no trace of what he was doing - the same for Tinlin. They fragrantly violated the law never thinking that a day like this would come...they were wrong and now they have to pay the piper.
But that doesn't stop the spin-misters does it folks from telling us black is white and up is down. They along with the Mayor would like it all swept under the carpet....but not this time.
Karma is a bitch!
