Constitutional Law

Say KingCast do you have any actual law that says reference to all Bruce McKay termination discussions must be voted on and noted in the record?

By Christopher King

Johnson v. Nash, 135 N.H. 534 (1992). This is the short version; read the comments for the long.

HN2 RSA 91-A:3 sets out the requirements for calling an executive session under the Right-to-Know Law. It provides [***6] in relevant part:

"I. Bodies or agencies may meet in executive session for deliberations only after a majority vote of members present, which shall be recorded in the minutes of [**202] the meeting?.."

?II. A motion to go into executive session stating which exemption under this paragraph is claimed shall be made only when the body or agency is considering or acting upon the following matters:

(a) The dismissal, promotion or compensation of any public employee or the disciplining of such employee, or the investigation [***7] of any charges against him, unless the employee affected requests an open meeting . . . ."

Predicate post: Franconia definitely considered firing Bruce McKay.
