OM 19-35 Callanan v. East Greenwich Town Councilors-Elect – No Violation

The Complainant alleges that the Town Councilors-elect violated the OMA when three members-elect engaged in a public interview with local media without posting notice to the public. Our review of the video interview confirmed that the members-elect responded to questions initiated by the press rather than engaged in a collective discussion amongst themselves. It is also undisputed that the members-elect took no formal action during the interview on a matter over which they have supervision, control, jurisdiction or advisory power. Based on the facts presented, we do not find a violation.
