If a half truth is a whole lie ...

The agenda for the Wednesday Board meeting has finally been posted, link.

They will vote to deny board members the opportunity to respond to a question from the public forum; even if they want to and would otherwise, respond to a legitimate question from the forum.

The decision is based on shaky interpretation of the Open Meetings Act. They claim the law "prohibits" them from answering, when in fact, the law "allows" them a convenient excuse to not answer.

The entire action is described in the board agenda as;

Approval of Revising the Language that the Secretary Reads as an Introduction to the Public Forum Section on Board Agendas.
Yeah, that covers it.

It is a half truth at best. It is manifestly dishonest; it is dishonest on its face.
