LinkDistrict Links District Links: Council votes to amend DC’s open meetings law to enable private discussions; Norton criticizes latest home rule attack; and more By Chris Kain On Apr 1, 2025 Last updated Apr 1, 2025 0 7 Share The DC Council voted 10-2 this afternoon to approve emergency legislation to create new exceptions to the District’s open meetings law, although Chair Phil Mendelson’s amended proposal did narrow the provisions allowing site visits and retreats without public access or notice so they will apply only to the council and not the full scope of DC boards and commissions. 0 7 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
