Report: Former Gov. Blunt had 'insufficient' public records policy

JEFFERSON CITY — Investigators looking into the e-mail retention practices of former Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt have concluded that his office had "insufficient" public records policies.

The report released Tuesday wraps up a one-and-a-half-year probe into Blunt's office that began after a former legal counsel claimed he was fired for raising concerns about e-mail deletions in the office.

Although raising concerns, the investigators decided not to refer the matter to prosecutors.

Blunt's attorney insisted in a written response that the office did have appropriate document retention policies.
