Secret Meetings

Mar. 14, 2012 - By Ron Scheiderer - 3 Comments

Open government is paramount to a democracy. Those who serve in positions of public trust must always remember that they are supposed to serve the public interest in our representative government. The only way you would know if our officials are actually serving your interest is if all government business and meetings are transparent and open to the public.

We are entitled to not only witness actual votes being recorded but equally important is that we hear all of the talk, discussion and deliberations that preclude their votes. When meetings of any nature involving public officials occur outside of the normal meeting places, are not advertised or posted and/or recorded for the record then those officials may be violating the open meeting provisions of the Ohio Sunshine Law.

Several critical elements to possible violations involve the nature of discussions, the number of officials present and the action or lack thereof that is taken.

Recently, TV-22 has become concerned of the possible violations of this very sacred law. Some very suspicious meeting activity has taken place both in our city as well as our county.

Watch the video below for all the revelations uncovered in this latest TV-22 Editorial.

@Mike Marmol I don't see you hosting anything and if you could do better you should go and show them how its done. Better yet, shut up. No one likes you. You are too focused on Ron(who you probably don't like for some reason) to even get the point of what he is saying. Either that, or you are in love with him. You got lost in the sparkle of his eyes. I bet you have a creepy shrine to Ron in your Closet. You should post that to facebook or something.

I think that they do this to many times and that they want marion to live as they see fit. I have a friend who has had her horse for 5 years. They change the law two years ago and decide themselves to not have a grandfather clause. Now is also in violation of our Constitutional rights. If so then are they not breaking more laws than just the one. Thank You for listening Kathy Wilkins
