I’ve been writing about the St. Louis County Board more often these days. I had forgotten how entertaining this governmental body can be.
Commissioner Keith Nelson is seeking a legal opinion about whether the board can bar citizens from video recording county workshops (which are legally open meetings). The material filmed could be taken out of context, Nelson says, and besides, they beep. The cameras beep, that is. The county attorney is working on a response, according to the Duluth News Tribune story.
Yeah, I’m not a legal scholar but I’m going to put up a friendly fiver that this will come down on the side of the enthusiastic video camera operators.
