During our podcast coverage of the September 2022 Elgin Sustainability Commission meeting, Erik questioned whether commissioners had violated the Illinois Open Meetings Act. He made a promise to The Elgin Watchman's listening audience to roll up his sleeves and get to the bottom of things.
 
In this podcast episode, Erik . . . 

• Interviewed former Elgin Township Supervisor Franklin Ramirez
• Shares a few thoughts from a newspaper reporter
• Conveys additional thoughts from a downstate attorney
• And shares court cases provided by a good government nonprofit organization's intern

After hearing (and reading) all of the information put in front of him, Erik has no doubt that the Elgin Sustainability Commission violated the Illinois Open Meetings Act.

Erik asks listeners to call/email city of Elgin General Counsel Bill Cogley.
