So.....if you're a "regular" state employee, if you die, retire, resign, are laid-off, or are fired, your work records - all your work records - are public information retained by the state.

But if you are a "special" state employee, of the legislative flavor, someone who has a direct vote in matters that affect all Alaskans, you or your heirs get to keep your state records? You walk away with (and keep secret) the work products that you, as a public employee - paid by all Alaskans to do your legislative job - compiled on our dime?

No doubt, this decision will be toasted by the fellas and gals bellying up to the bar at the Corrupt Bastards Club, but it's one more blow to 
open government and public accountability. Not to mention historical accuracy.

Let's all raise a glass to yet another Alaska first: the most corrupt of all state legislatures.
