KACO & KLC Open Meetings Bill
KENTUCKY...
The Kentucky Senate has given final passage to a bill that would apply the open records and open meetings laws to two groups representing locally elected officials. Senators voted 37-0 Monday to pass the bill, which now goes to Gov. Steve Beshear. The provisions are aimed at the Kentucky Association of Counties and Kentucky League of Cities. The bill was spurred by government audits last year that uncovered questionable spending by both organizations, including payments to strip clubs. Under the bill, both organizations would have to post all their expenditures on a public Web site. It also would require annual audits of both groups.
