Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s unwillingness to make his e-mails public, which came to light in a recent Star Tribune report, raised questions about what he’s hiding as well as the legitimacy of the legal claim behind his twitchy delete-key finger. Another question—do other governors shield their e-mails from constituents?—gets answered online at a handy wiki table posted by Sunshine Review

The table offers a quick overview of how much access the public has to governors’ e-mails in 19 states. A couple of Pawlenty’s veepstakes rivals show the range of gubernatorial responses to requests for e-mail records: Lousiana law lets Gov. Bobby Jindal stonewall, while Florida Gov. Charlie Crist supplied a blogger with four days of e-mail correspondence. Last week, a Missouri judge threw out a lawsuit seeking Gov. Matt Blunt’s e-mails on technical grounds, though the effort may get revived with interventions by The Associated Press and two newspapers.

The Sunshine Review offers a window onto a broad and sometimes confusing welter of Web pages, some with as yet-unanswered open invitations to wiki, some with confounding permission error messages, but still others brimming with robust open-government activity from across the country. Next door in Wisconsin, for example, a blog called Press and Policy maintains a watch over open government issues in the state with a focus on journalism’s role. Recent developments at Sunshine Review include the launch this month of a campaign to get government bodies to put their checkbook registers online, and an effort to let members of Congress use Twitter to talk to constituents from the floor of the House of Representatives—recalling Minneapolis City Council Member Cam Gordon’s own troubles in starting and maintaining a blog.
