Oops, no public forum

The Pensacola City Council held two council meetings yesterday. One to honor the outgoing council and to ratify all their actions over the past two years; the other to swear in the new mayor and council.

There was no public forum at either meeting. Does that mean the meetings were invalid or illegal? Or is it possible to hold a government meeting in the “sunshine” without a public forum? Will Byron Keesler and Leroy Boyd fill a suit?

Hmmmmmmmmmm.
