The Liberty County Development Authority went into an unwarranted executive session Jan. 6, during a meeting and workshop, according to Georgia Press Association attorney David Hudson. The Coastal Courier initially contacted Hudson over concerns about whether the subject matter that prompted the development authority to enter into closed session qualifies as being exempt from public disclosure under Georgia’s open-meetings/open-records act, also known as the Sunshine Law. Hudson asserts the LCDA should not have closed the meeting to the public.
