"Governor Tony Evers' Use of Alternate Email Raises Questions"
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has been using an alternate state email account under the name of late Hall of Fame baseball player Warren Spahn as a security measure, according to his spokesperson. The use of alias email addresses is common among dignitaries in Wisconsin for digital security purposes. However, the practice of using "phantom email addresses" for public business has raised concerns about transparency and compliance with open records laws. The governor's office maintains that responsive emails requested under the state open records law are always released in accordance with state law, regardless of the account they are sent from.
