Oh, Kathleen. Kathleen, Kathleen, Kathleen.

Councilmember Kathleen Taylor’s post on Facebook encouraging people to correspond with her via her campaign email regarding city business. The icing on the cake on this post is Clara Andriola for Washoe County Commissioner “Liked” it. Does this mean Andriola enjoys skirting NRS rules?

Reno City Councilmember Kathleen Taylor is still pushing Renoites to use her campaign email (Kathleen@TaylorforReno.com) for official city business. Because apparently, proper government channels are just too... governmental?

In her eager attempt to dodge public records requirements, Taylor has actually created a legal face-plant for herself. Our legal eagles tell us that by publicly directing constituents to use her campaign email for city business, she's effectively turned those "private" campaign emails discoverable, AKA open to public record requests. Now we might have to sue, but it would be worth it.

Congratulations, Councilmember Taylor!, you've managed to:

• Invite ethics complaints

• Make your campaign emails legally discoverable

• Turn a simple dodge into a potential legal headache

Who knew avoiding transparency could be so... transparent?

When trying to skirt public records laws, maybe don't advertise it? Just saying.
