But in this example they are advising NDOT. Is NDOT considered a public body in this instance?

That's what I wonder. Maybe all of the attys on council could set up an open meeting on the open meetings act and we could discuss it along with any opinions on our interpretation.

If memory serves it isn't terribly expensive for that tool. Maybe that's a possibility.

Metro has a very strict interpretation of open meetings laws. If this committee is advisory only how does it apply?

Chris Bowe @cbowe34.bsky.social · 21h

Editorial note: VZAC members are incredibly frustrated by the stance NDOT has taken since their institution of Open Meetings requirements on our totally volunteer, advisory-only committee.

It's really hard to do this work without open lines of communication!

When Bob Bernstein announced that Fido, the beloved Hillsboro Village coffee shop, would be closing, he was surprised by the response — including his own. This week on BANNER & COMPANY, he talks with @genuinehumandk.bsky.social about the decision and the changing landscape of Nashville.

To be clear, 20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke this information is the acknowledgement that Stephen Miller is driving the invocation of the Insurrection Act.

invocation of the insurrection act will be the key moment for everyone. the white house, any state where it's invoked, especially the supreme court. all public officials are ultimately responsible for acting in line with the constitution. a false invocation of the insurrection act, itself a ...

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.
