From the transcript
Only one single issue remains to be discussed. The annual cap on remote meetings, everything remains to be discussed because what you discussed privately, illegally, behind closed doors is an absolute violation of the Open Meetings Act. If you go on the state's website and go to commonly asked questions, the third one down, I think it might be the fourth one down, is, is it legal to poll your members? And the answer is no, and explains why it's not legally allowed in the state of Alaska. So What's the remedy?
