A judge says Jim West has 3,300 photos on his city hall computer hard drive that are from Gay.com, but just a mere 100 are sexually explicit:

The judge said his review of the contents of the mayor's computer found 3,300 photographs. Of those, 100 pictures were close-ups of male genitalia and 10 were of sex acts between men, the judge said.

"Clearly the public has the right to evaluate the mayor's performance," Miller said in ruling that West's Internet usage should be subject to the state's Open Public Records Act.

"The dilemma this court finds itself in is to release the pictures essentially releases the identities of the people in them. I don't think that's appropriate," Miller said.

For example, the judge said, one photograph might be that of a married man who is secretly gay "and now his picture goes into the public domain."

Meanwhile, the city union embarrasses itself endorsing the embattled mayor.
