Subject: Sunshine Act
On behalf of the Ethics Hearing Board, I thank you for your prodding us to examine carefully the PA Sunshine Act as it refers to Executive Sessions. We are now very aware that information can be shared and discussions can be held, but no decisions can be made during these sessions. As ethical persons, we shall conform to the law.
Let me also thank you for the coverage that you have given to our meetings. You are keeping the public informed and adding to our credibility.
Sister Patrice Hughes

This gets to the heart of so many issues, it's frightening. Sister Hughes and the board sound like they have been conducting themselves with honor.
Love the teaser.
So .... does this mean they will give you a copy of the Kate DeSimone memo or not? (One of your original requests)
Char...
Very good. :) Your question anticipates my message to the board, which I e-mailed Saturday and will be posting here tomorrow.
Stay tuned.
