FALMOUTH – The town council, grappling with the volume and content of e-mails by and between councilors, drafted what is considered to be Maine’s first council e-mail use policy.
The policy, unanimously enacted in November, was crafted after the town received a freedom of information request from the Forecaster newspapers for access to council members’ e-mail communications, many of which were stored on personal e-mail accounts, according to Council Chairwoman Cathy Breem.
