SRO Crowd Attends Records Forum

Highway Commissioner Chris Fillios is here being instructed by Coeur d’Alene Press Editor Mike Patrick about his role in a skit that was part of the open meetings/records forum in Coeur d’Alene Tuesday night. Fillios was cast in the role of a reporter who catches the County Commissioners conducting an illegal meeting.

If they’re making a decision, make yourself at home. If they’re holding deliberations, pull up a chair.  But if a government entity is discussing personnel issues, say, hiring an employee or disciplining an officer, the door will be shut to civilians. No use complaining. It’s the law. The open meetings law, specifically. And it’s there for a reason, explained Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden on Tuesday night/ Alecia Warren , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.

DFO: A standing-room-crowd of about 90 attended the three-hour forum in Coeur d’Alene last night, sponsored by the Coeur d’Alene Press and The Spokesman-Review.
