LITTLE ROCK — E-mails exchanged between former Pulaski County Comptroller Ron Quillin and his lover, who represented a company that sold the county more than $1.1 million in services, are public records, the Arkansas Supreme Court ruled Thursday.
The decision came nearly four months after the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette filed a Freedom of Information Act request with Pulaski County to access the e-mails, which Quillin sent and received mainly during work hours.
Although the Supreme Court upheld a lower court's decision that all but a few e-mails are public records, the e-mails were not immediately available.
