At League Day, you’ll learn about the nitty-gritty of the important issues of the 2016 legislative session and what the League has been doing to push forward our agenda. Registration is $10.
The theme of this year’s League Day is Good Government: the Long View.” You’ll come away knowing more about open meetings, access to public records, the history of the Ethics Commission, the “speech in debate” clause in the Code of Ethics, and what the differences are between the major bills now being considered.
The social time will begin at 4:30 followed at 5 with presentations by League members. The panel discussion, which will begin at 6, will be moderated by Linda Levin, president, ACCESS RI. Panelists will include Channel 10’s investigative report Katie Davis, Providence-based journalist Philip Eil, and Common Cause RI Executive Director John Marion. They will provide background on the Access to Public Records Act, Open Meetings Act and amendments to these laws that are currently under consideration by the legislature.
Plan to bring a friend—or two—along, so they can see what we do.
