Put a muzzle on that city

| | Comments (0)
Love this one: Four cities in Texas filed a federal suit against the state and its attorney general, saying that the state's open meetings law violated the cities' freedom of speech because it "prevents a quorum of government officials from deliberating behind closed doors," according to a report from the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.

The state attorney general argued in court that cities' First Amendment rights can't be violated.

The case continues. Stay tuned.
