No loopholes
VIRGINIA ATTORNEY GENERAI. Andrew Miller thinks that if a public body brings in , one other person who is not a member of that body, and dissolves itself into a “study commission,” it can then hold closed door sessions.
We don’t agree with his interpretation of the language of Virginia’s Freedom of Information Law, but if the “loophole” does indeed exist then it should be closed, and Miller himself says he will recommend that this be done ~i at the next session of the General Assembly.
We’d be even more dismayed if any public body in this part of the state took advantage of a “loophole” which so clearly violates the t intent of the FOI law, and that intent is to have the public’s business conducted in public, with rare exceptions spelled out for special purposes. □
