Judge dismisses lawsuit claiming Scranton violated Sunshine law
Original: Judge dismisses resident’s lawsuit claiming Scranton violated Sunshine law
A judge has dismissed a resident's lawsuit alleging that Scranton, Pennsylvania violated the state Sunshine law, which requires government bodies to conduct business openly. The claim asserted the city failed to meet open-meeting requirements, but the court ruled against the resident. The outcome is being noted locally as a setback for transparency advocates and a vindication for city officials facing the complaint.
Why now: Scranton residents are closely watching local government transparency disputes and the court's ruling settles a public accountability claim.
