Exemptions of Open Meetings Laws?
November 14, 2007 - Author: newscoma - Comments are closedJoe Powell is pissed. And, to be honest, I’m with him. This is ridiculous.
The state’s legislative committee reviewing/re-writing open government meeting laws needs to stop and close up shop, revoke all recommendations and go back home. After first deciding to allow for more elected officials to meet and make decisions on public policy in secret, they now offer exemptions of open meeting laws which only enhance perceptions of corruption.
Give ‘em hell, Joe. And it shouldn’t be convenient for politicians. It’s not their government.
It’s the people’s.
Also, go read Michael Silence’s take here. VERY interesting.
Jeez.
