“The Oregon Constitution and state law require that deliberations of the Legislative Assembly and its committees be open to the public. The law also requires public notice of meetings and maintenance of public meeting records. These practices ensure that the legislative process is open to public scrutiny.”
You're missing that there are exceptions for this.
Like most blanket laws.
Which don’t apply here
uh.
A room full of lawyers claim an action is illegal. When I know better, I usually call for a time out to think it through.
```In addition, the following meetings are exempt from the requirements of the Public Meetings Law:
meetings of the state lawyers assistance committee or personal and practice management assistance committees operating under ORS 9.568 »;
meetings of medical peer review committees under ORS 441.055 »;
meetings of county multidisciplinary child abuse teams that review child abuse cases under ORS 418.747 »;
meetings of child fatality review teams that review child fatality cases under ORS 418.785 »;
any judicial proceedings;[619]
deliberations of the Board of Parole or the Psychiatric Security Review Board;
deliberations of state agencies in contested case hearings under ORS chapter 183 », or review by the Workers’ Compensation Board or Employment Appeals Board of similar hearings on contested cases;
meetings of the Oregon Health and Science University Board of Directors or subcommittee regarding:
candidates for president of the university, or
sensitive business, financial or commercial matters of the university not customarily provided to competitors related to financings, mergers, acquisitions or joint ventures or related to the sale or other disposition of, or substantial change in use of, significant real or personal property, or related to health system strategies;
meetings of Oregon Health and Science University faculty or staff committees;
mediation conducted pursuant to the agricultural mediation service program; and
meetings of the Energy Facility Siting Council to review and approve security programs.[620]``` Here are some exemptions!
"could I be wrong?"
"deliberations of state agencies"
gee, I wonder which one it could be.
"meetings of the Oregon Health and Science University Board of Directors or subcommittee regarding: sensitive business,"
couldnt be that one, could it?
"or related to health system strategies;"
seeing as the armed forces have been called out here to protect vaccines.
might be...well....sensitive?
Nope. None of the above. It's 'The Left'. Nuff said.
@kennyb There you go. Are you not happy you could log on, meet someone like Maw and have that misunderstanding cleared up?
None of which apply
??
still in denial, I see.
Again, according to whom?
There is no misunderstanding. Maw just assumes the democrats in power can’t do anything wrong
should be a wake up call.
This is just one more crazy shit that isn't crazy shit but we'll go ahead and stick it in the pile so we can justify calling the next thing that isn't crazy shit crazy shit.
Apparently you too
You think I am a democrat?
No?
Do I seem like someone who thinks there is wisdom in the masses? 😄
Doc is the top Soros shill up in this joint.
You’re assuming they can’t do anything wrong
Haha...I am an arrogant, elitist.
No?
We just aren't assuming they're doing something wrong by default.
@kennyb I assume all humans are baboons. Including democrats. Your point is desperate.
And therefore we look up exemptions.
