Open meetings changes topic of today's summit

Changes to the state’s open meeting laws that make it OK for School Committee members to comment on issues raised during the public comment portion of meetings will be discussed this morning.

Roger Williams University is host today to the 8th annual Open Government Summit, which is co-sponsored by the university’s law alumni association and the state Department of Attorney General.

The changes to the laws are welcomed by the Rhode Island Association of School Committees. Read more about them in today’s Journal.
Speakers include Attorney General Patrick C. Lynch, special assistant attorney general Christy Hetherington, Roger Williams law professor Bruce I. Kogan and lawyer Jason Gramitt of the Rhode Island Ethics Commission.
