[edit] Attorneys' advice doesn't excuse Open Meetings Act violation

"‘Acting on the advice of an attorney’ isn’t going to be an easy excuse for willfully violating the Open Meeting Act in the future,” said Joey Senat, Ph.D., OSU School of Journalism & Broadcasting and past president of Freedom of Information Oklahoma.

Senat, himself an attorney and a strong advocate of Freedom of Information in all government areas provided the court’s ruling to FOI members this week."
