According to the University of Idaho’s Office of General Counsel, there is one question to answer when determining whether Ernesto Bustamante’s personnel records should be released, and it concerns the phrase “former public official.” According to Idaho Code, the privacy of public officials remains intact even after they have left office. The question is whether privacy laws still cover a person once he or she is dead.
