Film fight resumes despite FOI ruling
(link: http://www.connpost.com/localnews/ci_4945601)

SEYMOUR, CT — Police were called to the Board of Selectmen meeting at Town Hall Tuesday night after First Selectman Robert Koskelowski thought he might need help with a possible unruly person — Frank Loda.

Loda, a Seymour resident, films town meetings for a public cable access show aired on Tele-Media.

Loda said Koskelowski once again ordered him to the back of the Norma Drummer meeting room at Town Hall while waiting to videotape the board's meeting Tuesday night. This occurred despite a recent ruling by the state Freedom of Information Commission on a complaint filed by Loda. The commission struck down the town policy concerning the placement of video cameras during town meetings.

(more at link).

In a nutshell,
- the Repuke 1st Selectman illegally orders all videotapers to the back of the room for a PUBLIC meeting
- Videotapers files FOI complaint, and WINS. FOI commission recinds the illegal order.
- Very next meeting after the FOI ruling, Repuke does it again.


Why do Repukes hate America?

1. Sounds like an easy lawsuit
for violating Loda's rights.
