U46 – When the light shines, the rats scramble – Injunction coming?
When out of control public officials of a public body do things behind closed doors it’s no surprise the steps they will take to cover-up or hide their improper and possibly illegal actions.
We, in the meantime, have been working diligently to implement language in the law that ensures such a gross abuse of power never happens again and that public officials never have to file suit for that right.
Keep in mind the Bill does not “grant the authority”, it simply codifies what already exists in legal precedence.
The Bill passed out of committee in the Senate May 4th and is expected to pass final reading in committee and full floor vote next week. If and when that happens all indications are the Governor will sign it into law.
It appears the rats at U46 who have refused duly elected officials from listening to certain records have gotten wind of the path HB 4630 has taken and have now placed on the agenda for Monday night an item to destroy closed session recordings.
It’s clear certain board members have something to hide and they have caught wind that this bill is going to pass with bipartisan support. If that happens, the truth will come out regarding what was said behind closed doors that had nothing to do with public business but instead was a political attack that included serious racial slurs.
We expect to see an emergency injunction filed by certain board members Monday in order to stop this action.
What is so amazing with this is the fact they expect a person to vote on the destruction of a record without letting them access the record to know if such an action is proper. How can they honestly expect a person to vote on a matter when they don’t allow them access to the information so they can make an informed decision for the destruction of that information?
We understand funding for the action has been secured and it appears the light may well shine on a few rats that would best serve the district by stepping out of public office. Their vile comments spoken about candidates behind closed doors has no place in our public schools and could have an impact on their outside employment.
Additionally, there is clear case precedence mandating all elected officials of the U46 Board have the same knowledge of school affairs, including closed session recordings. Recordings made prior to a newly elected officials’ term of office must be release to that official upon demand. Oberman v. Byrne (1983), Wayne Township Board of Auditors v. Vogel (1979), Stone v. Kellogg (1895), Kunin v. Forman Realty Corp. (1959), City of Rockford v. County of Winnebago (1989), Roth v. Ahrensfeld (1940) – just to name a few.
