Attorney General rules no Violation

Concerning an open meeting violation filed against the Town of Templeton, specifically against the Board of Selectmen by Dan Keeney, the Office of the Attorney General has notified the BOS that it has been determined by the AG that no Open Meeting violation occurred. The Attorney General of Massachusetts, which is the chief law enforcement office for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has made and issued a determination that the Templeton Board of Selectmen did not violate the open meeting law of the Commonwealth. The BOS had received more than one letter from an attorney representing Mr. Keeney on this subject and the subject of the dismissal of Dan Keeney, and this attorney was present at the meeting mentioned in the OML complaint. This is now one less issue the board has to deal with while moving forward.
