Judge say hiring an attorney and being wrongly arrested is a risk. WTF?
I think it just means if the applicant has a defense contractor restriction, or wants one, he/she can speak more freely in a closed session. After all, these are public hearings and info could be published.
The voting is being done by secret ballot, not a closed session hearing.
You want to make this entire process go away? Have all volunteer EMS techs and volunteer fireman say they won't volunteer unless they can get an untrestricted permit.
"No permit, no prevention"
Looks like another reapply.
