[edit] FOI officer: Winsted violated Freedom of Information law

"A Freedom of Information Commission hearing officer has written a proposed final decision agreeing with a lawyer who filed a complaint charging the Winsted Board of Selectmen of violating the Freedom of Information Act.

The complaint stems from a spring 2008 board meeting about the removal of Planning & Zoning Commission member George Closson.

Community lawyer Charlene LaVoie filed a complaint on May 22, 2008, with the state Freedom of Information Commission accusing the Winsted Board of Selectmen of violating the FOI Act concerning the holding of a meeting in executive session. LaVoie contended that the board violated the act by meeting in executive session for “an impermissible purpose.”"
