Was 3rd Suffolk candidate fed debate questions in advance?

The South End News reports on some e-mail between state Rep. Marty Walz and 3rd Suffolk candidate Aaron Michlewitz before an April 21 debate. Michlewitz told the paper he wouldn't say whether he received questions in advance but that the real issue is somebody is violating his and Walz's privacy.

... to the first person to rework Baba O'Reilly to, "Meet the new DiMasi! Same as the old DiMasi!"
SAD I really like the guy
SAD
I really like the guy but come on, if you are going to be sending each other classified info like this at least do it on private email accounts jeez wiz. Does this mean he was also using state computers in the state house to deal with campaign issues? That is highly illegal... A good legislator dances through hoops to make sure they are not violating the office, with one legislator I know actually refusing to field any campaign related questions on his work email and has the phone number for the campaign hanging up on a board so any calls about the campaign get a phone number and a thank you very much for calling, now good bye! Im hoping that a staffer and a State Senator were not swapping campaign related talk , with illicit pre game questions over the State House servers.
Mission Impossible
Lets all keep our powder dry on this one. The emails (according to the original SE News Story were "private" emails). Translation: no public resources used for campaign purposes. Phew. Furthermore, if Ward 5 Chair Rob Whitney thinks this is much ado about nothing because as he says there was "no restiction" on Ward 5 members from sharing the questionn. I wonder why it is that the South End News thinks we shoul care so much. Anyone want to hazard a guess?
Well now Im curious about
Well now Im curious about how those emails got out lol. It made perfect sense to me if it was State House bound, but having it be private accounts makes it more difficult to figure out. I thought South End news endorsed him no?
