The township recognizes that participation in some forums might be important to the performance of an employee’s job. For instance, an employee might find the answer to a technical problem by consulting members of a news group devoted to the technical area. However, any messages or information sent on township-provided facilities to one or more individuals via an electronic network—for example, internet mailing lists, bulletin boards and online services—are statements identifiable and attributable to the township. The public may have a right to request a record of messages or information sent on township-provided facilities.
