[edit] Small-Town First Selectmen Want Website Law Repealed

"Elected officials representing some of the small towns that shut down their websites in October rather than risk non-compliance with a new state law requiring them to post meeting minutes and agendas online told state lawmakers Monday they would rather see the law repealed than modified.

At a public hearing at the state Capitol, first selectmen from four towns — Harwinton, Lyme, Andover and Portland — told members of the legislature's government administration and elections committee that they support the spirit of the new law but that the mechanics of complying with it are costly and cumbersome."
