Open Meetings Ruling
KENTUCKY...
The Butler County Fiscal Court is challenging a ruling by Kentucky's attorney general claiming that the fiscal court violated the state's open meetings law.
An appeal has been filed in Butler County Circuit Court. The case stems from a complaint by local government activist and judge-executive candidate Robert Cron to the attorney general's office in January. Cron sought a ruling on a series of one-on-one meetings in December and January between Butler County Sheriff Joe Gaddie, and Judge-Executive David Fields and several magistrates. Cron claims the meetings should have been open to the public because they dealt with official county business. The attorney general agreed with him. Fields says the meetings weren't illegal because there was no quorum.
