 The e-mails were sent to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory officials and concerned the manner in which a public forum about a research lab would be conducted.Since the e-mails were about city business, attorneys for the Tracy Press argued that copies should be made available to the public.A San Joaquin County Superior Court judge ruled against the Tracy Press, saying that since the e-mails were created and kept on Tucker's personal computer, and were never used, owned, possessed or sent by the City, they are not public records.
