Oh, brother, here we go again. Another big man trying to gaslight us.
I’m sorry, Mr. Saunders, but…um…no, I beg to differ (see page 4). You violated the Open Meeting Law.
It does not matter what you talked about. You had a meeting of the committee with a quorum present. The public has a right to know that you met and what you talked about, yes, even the “banter” about budget season, or your kid’s soccer game.
You deprived the public of being able to see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears what happened, and you even deprived the public of getting a filtered and abridged version because there are no minutes. There isn’t even an agenda. You are asking us to take your word for it.
Nah…that’s not what the Fourth Estate is about, and it’s not what members of a real democracy expect. They expect to find out for themselves.
You’re an attorney, for heaven’s sake, look up the regulation when you get on a committee. If you need help, let me know, I can get a high school kid to show you.
On another note…the football team may have lost on Thursday, but they go to the Super Bowl this week. We’ll have a report on that in next week’s issue.
Meanwhile, there are all kinds of fun events and opportunities for you to give and volunteer, and just have fun during this holiday season. See pages 3, 5, 6, 7 for listings, and look at the ads, too.
Those crazy Acushnet motorcycle riders got out there this weekend….BRRR. See page 13 for why they did that!
There’s other stuff in here, of course, including our cover story about the football game; the Acushnet lighting with Santa!); and more.
While you’re looking, be sure to notice who our advertisers are so you can tell them you saw their ads in the Neighb News.
Until next week then, see ya,
Glory to Ukraine!
Glory to the Heroes!
