What I don't get is how they can say they won't allow discussion for your own good. That logic is a very slippery slope and entirely unAmerican (or British).

This strikes me as almost certainly illegal to deny a license without giving cause.

It seems to me that by definition the board must have met behind closed doors to reach this decision. This can't be legal in RI, can it?

As a former newspaper reporter (St. Pete Times), the story here, to me, is the obvious appearance of an illegal meeting.

Jim McGaw

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.
