NORTHAMPTON – It's been more than a year since the Northampton City Council held an executive session, but the last time it did meet behind closed doors, it violated the Open Meeting Law, according to a ruling this week by the state attorney general's office.
The Attorney General's Division of Open Government also found that the School Committee ran afoul of the same law when it met in 2011 to discuss contract negotiations with school employees.
