Spokane Mayor Tries to Block Files Release
By NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS
Associated Press Writer
RITZVILLE, Wash. --
Lawyers for embattled Spokane Mayor James E. West told a judge
Wednesday that the contents of his City Hall laptop computer were not
public records and should not be released.
West's lawyers acknowledged that the mayor visited gay-oriented Web
sites and that the computer contained about 1,800 files of photos and
correspondence from West to people on sites such as gay.com.
But they said the files did not relate to city business and were not
looked at on city time, and may have been stored in the laptop
automatically by the Web sites.
"How can the mayor be responsible for materials that through no
volitional act are dumped onto his computer?" attorney Bill Etter
asked Adams County Superior Court Judge Richard Miller, who is hearing
the case.
Miller said he would examine the computer files and decide, possibly
as early as late next week, whether the files should be made public.
Attorneys for The Spokesman-Review newspaper, who went to court to
seek release of the files, said there is no question that West visited
the Web sites.
The files directly relate to federal, state and local misconduct
investigations involving West, they said, and clearly should be
released under the state's Public Disclosure Act.
"The mayor's hard drive is a record of the mayor's activities," said
Duane Swinton, a lawyer for the newspaper.
"It's a public record."
Several young gay men told The Spokesman-Review they were offered
perks, trips or City Hall jobs and appointments by West, who has said
he did nothing illegal.
The FBI is investigating whether those offers constituted an abuse of
public office.
West faces a recall election Dec. 6 over the allegations.

Read it? Buddy, I'm living in Spokane.
West is another case of someone with a "purient interest in purient
interest." While some of his right-wing friends are abandoning him (hm,
not what Jesus would do) he's gotten some back by talking about his
turning to the church. Don't know which church, but some church.
And while he admitted he did a LOT of homosexual acts, he keeps saying
that he's not gay. It's Roy Cohn all over again.
