TD Socks it to Tammy Irons

Let's just cut to the chase. In January, the Ag Authority Board went into executive session and did not re-convene. Was it all done according to generally accepted rules and regulations, aka Roberts' Rules of Order?

1. Tammy Irons says everything was just hunky dunky. No story here. Listen to her as attorney for the board. Would she lie to you?

Hmmmm. See this little blog: Just Tell the Truth

2. The TimesDaily states that Irons is wrong. The following steps were needed to make everything on the up and up:

1) A quorum of governmental body must first convene a meeting …

2) A majority of the members of the governmental body present must adopt, by recorded vote, a motion calling for executive session and setting out the purpose of the executive session ...

3) The vote of each member shall be recorded in the minutes.

Assuming the TD is correct, either Irons doesn't know her stuff or she's hoping the general public doesn't know theirs. Silly us, we thought the purpose of a board's attorney was to make sure the body didn't make a legal misstep...not to cover it up when it did.

You Know It's Bad When the TD Feels the Need to Report It.
