I just looked for information regarding the RP vs Greg's lawsuit.<br>
I found this - The last mention of it I recall, but no updates or
notifications FROM the town about the news reports beginning about
22 May 2018. I do appreciate Former Mayor Archer's transparency on
the subject of executive sessions but recognize they are executive
sessions.<br>

I am becoming more concerned with two things raised by the town talk
exchange.<br>
What appears to be a growing lack or transparency on the part of the
council, and the lack of decorum demonstrated by some when residents
are seeking clear and hopefully full yet concise information about
the town. <br>
While free speech is a right, it would be nice to avoid bashing
someone for asking the questions they have especially when they have
taken the time to explain what and generally why they are asking.<br>
Thank you Ms Henry for asking questions.<br>
