Speaking of Representative Lilly...

If you recall there was an open records request done a while back asking for certain emails communications from Representative Lily's containing several key words identified by the Lyda Ness-Garcia campaign. The request surfaced because they wanted to find out if she was doing any campaign related activities on taxpayer's time or dime.

They selected a range of words, some of which could be entirely normal conversation from a city rep's office that don't appear to be out of the ordinary like: "Transmountain", "voting", "invite", or a staffer's name.

Some appear to be dubious at first glance like the name of the staffer's spouse who is working for her opponent, the name of her opponent, "campaign", "Democrat", "Republican", "donation", or "early voting".

Obviously it would be a whole lot of nothing, or it could be uncovering some interesting stuff. No one will know until the record request is complete.

But here is a list compiled by the city of the number of times the city was able to find emails involving Representative Lilly's office that contained the key words requested along with the number of emails they found with those key words.

Its very preliminary information, so take it with a grain of salt.


I have compiled an unofficial count of the numbers of email for each word on your list.  Here is that information:
