Madison County’s new and first exclusively online newspaper www.MadisonCountyCourier.com will host Freedom of Information Law and Open Government Guru Robert Freeman of the NYS Committee on Open Government on Nov. 4 at 7 p.m. at a location to be determined. It is for anyone who wants to learn their rights about Freedom of Information, how meetings are to be conducted, what records have to be kept and the legal foundations for a public body to enter an executive session. Those interested in participating in their local government have a great opportunity here to learn the tools they have at their disposal to do so.The presentation is free and open to the public, but those interested in attending are encouraged to contact Martha Conway so arrangements for a suitably sized space may be made. She can be reached at martha@m3ppublications.com or by calling 315.813.0124.
