Open government
The D&C has a good opinion piece today about the merits of open government, something that is very much on our minds in the wake of the closed county lej meeting on the public defender last week:
These should be passed and signed into law:
# Authorize courts to invalidate action when substantial deliberations occurred in secret in violation of the Open Meetings Law.
# Require award of attorney’s fees when substantial deliberations or votes occurred in secret.
If these amendments had been in force last week, would Monroe County government have acted as it did in selecting the public defender?
