CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - A Reno newspaper wants the Nevada
Supreme Court to force Gov. Jim Gibbons to turn over 104 e-mails he
sent to various individuals in early 2008.

An attorney for the Reno Gazette-Journal filed a brief seeking reversal of a ruling by Carson City District Judge James Russell that only six of the e-mails should go to the newspaper. And if the full e-mail messages aren't disclosed, then part of them should be revealed, lawyer Scott Glogovac said.

"This coverage is important to the public as it provides a main source of information regarding the activity of government officials and of the trustworthiness of those officials and their suitability to maintain public office," Glogovac stated.

The state attorney general's office, representing Gibbons, has 20 days to respond.
