The Open Meeting Law Violation that Wasn't

The Dynamic Duo has recently tried to make it sound like Douglas and Murphy are trying to pull something underhanded regarding the Challenger Learning Center (CLC). That is supposedly indisputable because they reportedly met after a board meeting with Mary Lynn Kelly (CLC Exec Director) at the Denny's just down the street from the DAC.

That is the partial truth they use to spin their tale of deceit. Here's the rest of the story...

What they conveniently "forgot" to mention is that Mary Lynn Kelly has had at least one private conversation (all but one in person) with EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF THE BOARD, not just Douglas and Murphy! Does that mean they all "violated open meeting laws" (absurd - it takes a majority at one time & place to do that) or "divulged privileged executive session" information. Of course not!

But it does fit the Dynamic Duo's political agenda to express selective outrage about the "bad" board members talking to her. I have been told that both Douglas and Murphy have known Mrs. Kelly for years. Oh no, maybe they're friends! Douglas and Murphy might have a "conflict of interest" and should resign right away! (That is the Dynamic Duo's newest refrain). Gimme a break.
