According to a news story on WVLT-TV, Senator Randy McNally, who is the chair of Tennessee's Open Government Committee, OPPOSES the proposed changes to the Sunshine Law that would allow up to a quorum of legislators to meet in secret.

Selected quotes from the article:

"A state panel appointed to improve the state's open meetings laws last week recommended weakening a provision that prohibits two or more members of a local government panel from meeting privately to deliberate on public issues. The panel instead voted to allow up to a quorum of a body to meet for discussions closed to the public."
. . .
"Senator Randy McNally of Oak Ridge says it isn't something he favors."
. . .
"The Tennessee County Commissioners Association supports the proposed change."

And while you're at it, send an e-mail to County Commissioner Mike Hammond, who was on the subcommittee and voted for the changes, and the other Knox County Commissioners to let them know you don't want the Tennessee County Commissioners Association to support the changes either!
