The Commonwealth Court has rejected the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s claims that state policies allowing employees to determine whether to retain or delete work emails violates the state Right-to-Know Law and the Administrative Code.

President Judge Dan Pellegrini wrote the unanimous decision in PG Publishing v. Governor’s Office of Administration.
