Record #:

Author(s):
Abstract:
If a member of a local governing board (city council or county board of commissioners) becomes disruptive during a meeting, or embarrasses the board in some way outside a meeting, how may a board deal with that member? Removal from the meeting and censure are possible choices. Blum discusses the constitutional and statutory issues surrounding a board's disciplinary actions.
