Is Northampton County Council Starting Off New Year With A Sunshine Act Violation?

Northampton County Council is set to meet in an hour to decide on new officers for 2007. According to a call I just received, that decision has already been made. Wayne Grube will continue as president and Diane Neiper will replace Ann McHale as VP. Five members have decided this behind closed doors. The meeting time has been changed just so Tony Branco can attend. His vote is needed.

I'm hoping that I'll be able to report that I was dead wrong. I'm hoping the 2007 council does not start the new year with a Sunshine Act violation.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
