I write to inform you that I humbly, though with heavy heart over former Councillor Ron Cormer’s passing, accept this position.”
Another Open Meeting Law complaint by Paul DeMeo – He filed a complaint about the City Council’s reaction to his previous complaint about Executive Session Minutes. Publisher’s note: In reading DeMeo’s latest complaint in an attempt to present facts to our readers, we had a tough time navigating the sense of DeMeo’s logic, on its face his complaint just doesn’t appear to make any sense. So we’ll post his exact document here to see if any of you can figure out what his issue is: View attached pdf, CLICK HERE. Let us know, maybe some of you can decipher it.. News@GardnerMagazine.com
