HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - Lawyers for state Attorney General Kathleen Kane and a Philadelphia newspaper sparred before a state appellate court over the release of more pornographic emails from her office.

At a hearing in Commonwealth Court on Wednesday, Kane's attorney argued only emails relating to government business must be released under Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know law.

But Terry Mutchler, representing The Philadelphia Inquirer, said the emails are public records not only because they document official transactions, but also because they shed light on how employees use state time and resources. The Inquirer filed a Right-to-Know request last year for all the pornographic emails.

Kane's office released some of the pornographic emails last year, resulting in a wave of resignations and firings, including a state Supreme Court justice, and the courts released more last month.
