CITY COUNCIL & SECRET MEETINGS

[Duchess]

This doesn't concern my community...it's a small, in the middle of nowhere, town in northern New York. Apparently the mayor has been making a habit of closing the city council meetings to the general public. New York state has something called the "Open Government Law" as well as a "Freedom Of Information Law" that applies to local governments. It's not being followed and the community feels as if they have no recourse.
