AG: Names Of Nipp Posse To Stay Secret

Item: Names remain secret in Nipp complaints/Tom Hasslinger, CdA Press

More Info: Sen. Mike Jorgenson will not be required to disclose the names of the citizens whose conflict of interest concerns spurred a state attorney general investigation of former Lake City Development Corp. Chairman Charlie Nipp, the senator said Friday. "It's over," he said. The attorney general was expected to issue Jorgenson a letter confirming the names were protected by attorney-client privilege.

Question: Do you agree with the AG's ruling that the identities of those who sought an investigation of Charlie Nipp are protected by  attorney-client privilege?
