MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Governor Robert Bentley’s office is refusing to release many of his calendar records, which include his scheduled appointments, transportation arrangements and information on the people with whom he spends his working hours.

According to the Bentley administration, complying with such an open records request made by Alabama sports website and liberal political blog al.com would be “detrimental to the best interests of the public.”

The records from before January 1, 2016 would provide more insight into the relationship between Gov. Bentley and his former senior advisor Rebekah Mason. Earlier this year, Yellowhammer News released audio recordings exposing an illicit affair between the two.

“In response to your request for the remaining calendars entries, we are unable to provide those to you at this time because these involve recorded information received by a public officer in confidence, sensitive personnel records, pending criminal investigations, and records the disclosure of which would be detrimental to the best interests of the public are some of the areas which may not be subject to public disclosure,” Bentley spokeswoman Yasamie August told al.com in an email. The specific reason for denying the request was not provided.

So ... he got caught having an affair with one of his advisors (a married woman), may have misused state funds, and is facing impeachment ... but it's none of the voters'/taxpayers' business who he talks to, or when, while he collects a taxpayer-funded salary for a position given him by voters. Ooooooooookay.

2. because it shows him helping bama cheat in football

That whole state helps that team cheat and the gov does too. Damn those ncaa rule breakers who also cheat on their wives. And the ones who aren't spending time and money helping bama cheat are doing so for Auburn, just not as good as the ones helping bama. Do any of us really believe all of the best football players come from one state. Not this hog fan.
