DesMoinesRegister.com: "Lawyers subpoena reporter over CIETC letters

Lawyers for former Central Iowa Employment and Training Consortium chief executive Ramona Cunningham have subpoenaed a reporter for The Des Moines Register, demanding 'all correspondence, notes and memoranda' from a story in Tuesday's newspaper involving Cunningham's salary.

Reporter Clark Kauffman was served papers Tuesday demanding that he turn over copies of CIETC letters involving Cunningham's allegedly improper pay. The documents are to be given 'forthwith' to William Kutmus, Cunningham's lawyer in a federal fraud case.

Register Editor Carolyn Washburn said the newspaper will fight the subpoena."
