OPINION: For Sunshine Laws to work, BMA should vote to record all sessions

During last week’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting, I was glad to see the vote was unanimous in favor of taking up a discussion at the May 8 meeting to vote on recording BMA executive sessions.  As one person pointed out during the public comments portion of the meeting, it is hard to hear what’s being discussed at the executive sessions because not everyone has an individual microphone, and there’s no way for the public to review what was said.
