Jon Halsey: On Open Meetings Laws - KY & USA

By Jon Halsey

Among the beauties of the U.S. system of Government, and among the reasons that the U.S. sytem is one of the oldest sytems of Government in the modern world are the concepts of a strong local democracy and dispersed jurisdiction. It is these two concepts that give rise to the "Kentucky Open Meetings laws (KRS 61.805 to 61.850)"

As long as the law is extant it must be obeyed and the citizens owe a debt of gratitude to the members of the Fourth Estate for protecting our interests. When the Publics business is conducted in such a way that the Public is kept uninformed of what they are being bound to, we run the serious risk of losing bits and pieces of the precious liberty and freedom we have been entrusted with. --Jon Halsey
