Local-Government Officials Seek To Gut Tennessee's Open Meetings Law

Hmmm, think this has anything to do with the recent successful lawsuit against Knox County Commission by the Knox-News Sentinel for violation of the open meetings law last January? Where side meetings and deals were being made to stack the commission?

I have an exclusive audio interview with Commissioner Greg "Lumpy" Lambert here. The Knox County Commissioner was at the center of the Sunshine Law scandal in Knox County
