Still on the question of the advice from the Town Attorney…. the “do not respond” question….
opinion… from….another attorney…
Thinks the Attorney General opinion is being mis-read…. in previous update…
The use of e-mails between commissioners is limited to factual information- not opinions, and e-mails MUST be a part of some public record. Private e-mails don’t satisfy those requirments.
This attorney still feels it was bad advice…because you think there is a loophole when in fact there is not.
Elected officials may not discuss, in private, matters which they will consider and vote on.
Bcbythesea…. thought it was a disconcerting piece of advice …as previously posted…and still feels it is asking for trouble.
Commissioners and Board members must decide whether to get a formal written opinion…or steer clear of this advice all together…
will update if more opinions are forthcoming….
