The Overlook with Matt Peiken

Behind Closed Doors | Sally Kestin of AVL Watchdog


Listen Later

Sally Kestin of AVL Watchdog has done extensive reporting showing Asheville City Council members have skirted the spirit, if not the letter, of North Carolina’s open meetings laws for years by holding closed-door sessions in groups of two or three. I talk with Sally Kestin about her reporting on this issue, what’s potentially happening in these meetings outside of public view and the effects on a public kept in the dark. City Council just last week announced they would begin holding so-called “work sessions” in public, but there’s no indication whether the closed sessions will continue.
