Rahm Emanuel on Tuesday View Full Caption Jon Sall

CITY HALL — City officials no longer will be allowed to use private email accounts to conduct official business, Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office announced Wednesday.

The new policy was announced as part of a settlement with the Better Government Association, a watchdog group that filed Freedom of Information Act requests and sued the city for access to the emails. The city had also been sued over Emanuel's emails by the Tribune.

As part of the settlement, Emanuel released nearly 3,000 pages of emails from his personal account Wednesday afternoon.
