“State Supreme Court justice proposes private discussion; Plan puts most administrative matters behind closed doors”: Today’s edition of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel contains an article that begins, “A state Supreme Court justice wants to make it easier to keep some of the often-fractious court’s discussions private. Wisconsin’s Supreme Court in 1999 started holding public meetings on virtually all of its administrative matters, making it one of the first — if not the first — high court in the country to do so. Now, Justice Patience Roggensack wants to roll back the court’s policy so that many issues are discussed in public only if a majority of the court votes to do so.”
