[edit] Court blasts City Council secrecy
"A state appeals court has heaped more criticism onto a string of secret Boston City Council meetings—one of them attended by local City Councilor John Tobin—that drew an $11,000 fine in 2006.
The court confirmed that a 2005 meeting Tobin attended violated the state’s Open Meeting Law. The appeals court vacated the lower court’s decision on 10 other meetings held in 2003-2005, saying the city should be allowed to present more evidence that those meetings were legal. But the appeals court also issued withering criticism of the council’s main defense arguments, making it appear unlikely that the final decision will be different."
