The Spokesman-Review writes this great editorial on the requirement in Idaho law that a person "knowingly" violate the state's open meetings laws before a violation can be found. The editorial provides an illustration of the process for determining a violation of Idaho's law:
"Did you know you must post a notice 24 hours before holding an executive session?"
"No way! Really?"
"Did you know that specific reasons for holding a closed session must be stated in advance?"
"News to me!"
"OK. Case closed."
