The records released Tuesday also show that Miller did a mass deletion of all his borough e-mails before he resigned the job in September of last year. That left the borough scrambling to figure out how to retrieve the public records, some of which dealt with a case Miller worked on regarding property taxes on the trans-Alaska oil pipeline. Dolan wrote the borough attorney on Sept. 9, 2009, saying "I'm confused as to why he would do that."
"Back when we had the other issue with Joe, he had been in my office asking me lots and lots of questions about how the borough's servers work, what back ups we do, what data we store, etc.," Dolan wrote. "He said he wanted to know because he was paranoid about someone hacking into the system and that he needed to know what protections he had."

Broker said she was never able to figure out why Miller did the mass deletion of his e-mail before resigning. "I have asked, through his attorneys, for an explanation. I do not have his side of it; we've been trying to get his side of it," Broker said.

The records also show that Miller left the borough amid a dispute over leave and whether work that he was doing for a private client conflicted with a case the borough wanted him to handle. Broker told the Daily News on Tuesday that Miller requested time off under the Family and Medical Leave Act for an unspecified medical reason.
