Letter: Barrington council should re-do its recent meeting

Posted

To the editor:

I question the validity of the ordinance recently passed by Barrington’s Town Council. I believe that the intent of the open meeting law has been violated by limiting the number of people who could log in or call in. Many people could not get in to either listen and/or to participate in violation of open meeting laws.

I believe the Town Council should make better accommodations and hold the meeting again where those who want to participate will have the access to do so. I, for one, tried several times to log in and or call in to no avail.

Zoom meetings that do not allow the citizens to attend and participate should not be valid!

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
