[edit] Open Public Records Act lawsuit

Open records activist John Paff brought suit against 17 municipalities in Atlantic County alleging violations of the New Jersey Open Public Records Act. Specifically, he sought to ensure that municipalities were entering closed session of public meeting according to law, and to make sure that minutes of closed sessions are made available in accordance with the law.

Folsom settled the lawsuit with Paff. Terms of the settlement include giving more detail about what will be discussed in closed session before entering into it, and providing redacted versions of closed session minutes available at least two days prior to public hearings. ^[2]
