[edit] HARTFORD: Council Backs FOI Board

"The city council on Monday unanimously approved the creation of a local Freedom of Information Advisory Board, a three-member board intended to educate city employees and residents on the state's FOI laws.

The council's action is the second time it approved the board. Late last year, the council's approval was met with a technical objection from city attorneys regarding who had the power to appoint members to the board — the mayor or the city council. The city charter gives that authority to the mayor."
