The Wisconsin Court of Appeals ruled in February that the city of Marinette violated the Open Meetings Law while meeting in closed sessions to discuss PFAS-related issues. The ruling reaffirmed when exactly secrecy is allowed, and how much notice and context a government body must provide when entering closed session.
This week on “Transparency Talk”, hosts Bill Lueders and Tom Kamenick discuss the laws that allow a public body to enter closed session, and how to tell when closed session meetings are being held improperly.
But before we turn it over to Tom and Bill, our standard reminder that this conversation is not intended to be specific legal advice but rather a discussion of general legal issues. If you have a particular legal issue, please consult an attorney.
