Make open meeting law apply to the legislature!

When I was first appointed to Milford’s Renewable Energy Advisory Committee, I had to take a short course in compliance with the open meeting law. I was angry when I found out that the legislature had exempted themselves from that law, and given the corruption we’ve seen on Beacon Hill just since I found that out, I think it’s well past time to take a look at it.  Well, someone in the legislature thinks so as well, and it will come up in a hearing this Tuesday at 11 am – see this post at BlueMassGroup.com for further discussion.

The person who wrote that post is Deborah Sirotkin Butler, a long time Democratic activist and lawyer.  I am unable to attend the hearing, but she has offered to take a white paper for me.  I’ll email the executive committee for input, I think we should weigh in on this.
