From Houston Chronicle: MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The state Supreme Court on Friday ordered a judge to dismiss an open-meetings lawsuit filed by two Alabama Public Television executives fired last year in a flap that preceded a wave of resignations from the network.
The justices ruled against Allan Pizzato and Pauline Howland in a decision their lawyer and a dissenting justice said would weaken the state’s law requiring public bodies to meet in the open.
