42: Sunshine Laws

We're celebrating summertime on Ancel Glink's Quorum Forum podcast talking about sunshine laws with Eugene Bolotnikov, including the latest guidance from the Public Access Counselor on the Open Meetings Act and Freedom of Information Act during the COVID-19 pandemic. Then, Catie Coghlan reviews how the State of Illinois and large counties are distributing CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Funds to local governments. How have your local government meetings changed during the pandemic? Email us at podcast@ancelglink.com! Watch the podcast at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlUnJjNRMQQ.
