To the Editor: A recent article in this newspaper quotes Wayne Gottlieb, who serves on the West Milford Township Board of Education, on State Senator Robert Martin proposed bill S1219 which would strengthen the Open Public Meeting and Records Acts. Gottlieb said “Costs incurred by a public body defending itself against a complaint are not recoverable. A caseload of complaints would generate great financial costs to a public body such as the board of education. The logic here is unfathomable.” The logic here is very clear. The very fact that Gottlieb is worried that laws requiring public bodies conduct themselves in full view of the public would result in a caseload of complaints against his administration should this bill be passed, speaks for itself and for the need to strengthen the OPRA and OPMA laws and hold the Gottlieb’s of New Jersey accountable for every dime of our property tax dollars.
