| SCPA Wants Open Cabinet
Meetings |
(Columbia-AP) -- Members of the South
Carolina Press Association are set to vote on a resolution
today asking Governor Mark Sanford to hold Cabinet meetings in
public.
The association says the state Freedom of
Information Act requires the meetings to be open.
The
resolution is in response to Sanford's first Cabinet meeting
that was held behind closed doors earlier this month.
Sanford says the closed meetings allow Cabinet members
to speak freely about many issues without concern about the
media listening. But the
association says Sanford's action
sends a negative message about how to conduct the public's
business in the open.
The association says it could
pursue legal action if Sanford's Cabinet meetings continue to
be held behind closed doors. SCPA wants Sanfords cabinet meetings open_files/transparent.gif) |
