On July 13, 2006, the Millinocket Town Council held an executive meeting to discuss Maine's "Right to Know" laws. The public comment before the start of the meeting, and then again, just before the meeting adjourned to secrecy, focuses on the fact that the state allows the council to meet with their attorney if premature knowledge of the subject matter would leave the town at a serious disadvantage...
They are afraid you will find out how ignorant they are of the law. The attorney is incompetent, prefering to meet with "his clients" in private. Well as a public attorney his client IS the public.
Scary comments; no one is being sued and no legal action is being consider.
In Missouri, a voice vote is required to close meetings. Be thankful you still have the right to speak a public meetings.
