Coalition Cries Foul About Private Negotiations on State Open Meeting Law Changes

While New York may have a new governor, its legislature operates the old way — at least that's the argument from the New York Coalition for Open Government.

Gov. Kathy Hochul officially called state legislators back for a special session late on Tuesday for a Wednesday meeting.

Coalition President Paul Wolf said legislators showed up on time, at noon, but bills weren't published for members to read.
