Over the past week I have filed death records for a 23-year-old CNA, a 27-year-old forklift operator, a 30-year-old student and a 25-year-old artist.

Frayda Bluestein, @uncsog prof and open meetings expert, agrees with @mxnews that @CityofAsheville plans to hold a 6 1/2-hour nonpublic "team building" session March 31 would violate state open meetings law. #avlnews #avlgov mountainx.com/opinion/beat-a…
