From Carolina Journal Radio Program No. 719: The N.C. Military Affairs Commission recently generated unwanted headlines when it refused to discuss a report about a controversial wind farm project until a reporter had left the group’s meeting. Before he left, the reporter, Carolina Journal Associate Editor Dan Way, had refused the commission’s request not to report on what he saw and heard. Way explains why the Military Affairs Commission’s actions ran afoul of the spirit — and possibly the letter — of North Carolina’s open-meetings law.
