“Nicole’s simple request shouldn’t have been an issue. After all, Rhode Island’s Open Meetings Act was enacted to ensure that ‘public business be performed in an open and public manner and that the citizens be advised of and aware of the performance of public officials and the deliberations and decisions that go into the making of public policy.’ Moreover, the law requires that ‘[e]very meeting of all public bodies shall be open to the public.’” – The Goldwater Institute, August 3, 2022
