What are the penalties?
None..they routinely do not follow the law..just ask TAP how many FOI requests they have had to get through the courts..also? The attorney tells them what they want to hear instead of telling them to follow the law!
HB 397. signed into law by Governor Nathan Deal on April 17, 2012, Increased fines for violations to a maximum of $1000, and up to $2500 for additional violations within a year. Prior fines were a maximum of $100 for an Open Records violation and a maximum of $500 for an Open Meetings violation. https://law.georgia.gov/key-issues/open-government/hb-397-georgias-updated-sunshine-laws You can also file a complaint at this website.
Complaint filed.
Blatant disregard for the law, and they aren’t even trying to hide it any more. Just like in Washington.
Nothing these clowns do surprises me!
Who appointed this lawyer?
When wasthe last time this law was enforced and a fine imposed? I’m betting on NEVER!
It should be filed against each Crimmissioner individually, not “the Commission” since it is the taxpayer who is already being violated and robbed.
Why is Frampton always in a hurry to adjourn or he is absent from the meeting. Evidently commission meetings cut into his day job activities.
Not surprised with John Clarke’s actions. He should have known better or just doesn’t care. This should educate the voters in District 10 of his lack of knowledge as a sitting Commissioner for three years plus. This is also a fine example of his back room dealings he has become comfortable with in the past three years. Also getting tired of seeing John Clarke in front any news cameras available telling everyone how great he is while talking in circles. Augusta deserves better leaders. Vote John Clarke OUT OF Office in Super District 10. We need a work horse not a show pony.
Does any of this surprise anyone, unless we elect honest people that will not bend to the corupt politicans things with never change
