The executive director of the North Dakota Industrial Commission has spent
the first days of this week reviewing several cartons of papers that former
Bank of North Dakota President John Hoeven took with him when he left the
bank to run for governor.
Hoeven, the Republican candidate for governor, voluntarily returned the
material Monday for review after his Democratic opponent, Attorney General
Heidi Heitkamp, asked for a copy of a letter from Hoeven to Gov. Ed Schafer
pertaining to Hoeven's resignation as president of the bank in June.

Raleigh -- Ratcheting up the tension of an already heated campaign, the N.C.
Republican Party filed a civil lawsuit Tuesday against attorney general and
Democratic gubernatorial nominee Mike Easley.
The lawsuit in Wake County Superior Court accuses Easley and the N.C.
Justice Department of violating the state public records law. GOP leaders
say Easley and his staff delayed turning over public documents they
requested in writing May5, documents they're seeking to help the campaign of
Republican candidate Richard Vinroot.

Seattle Public Schools has been ordered to pay more than $66,000 in legal
fees to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and The Seattle Times for withholding
documents concerning a former Garfield High School teacher who committed
suicide.
The information contained complaints filed in 1995 and 1999 about
inappropriate contact between Thomas Hudson and his students.
In May, a King County Superior Court judge ordered the release of the files
to the news organizations, saying they contained information "of legitimate
public interest."

The state Republican Party sued Attorney General Mike Easley on Tuesday,
asking a court to force the Democratic candidate for governor to produce
public records the GOP had requested in early May.
The lawsuit was filed in Wake County as five staff members for Republican
gubernatorial candidate Richard Vinroot and the party waded through 140,000
pages of records at the attorney general's office.
The documents produced Tuesday accounted for only one of 20 sets of records
requested by Republicans.
``They're being Clintonian,'' said Chris Neeley, a spokesman for Vinroot's
campaign and one of those trying to sort through the records. ``They're
saying one thing and doing another.''

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- A state commission voted Wednesday to let the public see
sentencing records listing the race and gender of every criminal defendant
in Pennsylvania and the names of the judges who sentenced them.
The release will give researchers, reporters and watchdog groups
unprecedented access to the records of individual judges and will help
determine whether sentences for blacks and whites or men and women are
consistent.

Associated Press
NEW YORK - (AP)-- Kaiser Permanente accidentally breached the
confidentiality of 858 members who were using the health insurer's online
service to make appointments and discuss sensitive health matters with
doctors.
Kaiser mistakenly sent responses to some customers' e-mail to the wrong
members, the nation's second largest health insurance plan acknowledged
Wednesday. Nineteen Kaiser members received e-mail intended for some or all
of the 858 members.
"Some of the information was very sensitive,'' said Anna-Lisa Silvestre,
director of Kaiser Permanente Online.
