The Idaho Freedom Foundation has sent a letter to the Idaho attorney general asking him to take enforcement action against Idaho State University for an alleged violation of the state’s open meeting law.

In the letter, Idaho Freedom Foundation Executive Director Wayne Hoffman tells Attorney General Lawrence Wasden he is not asking him to extract civil penalties. He says is he is merely hopeful that through the state’s action, “government transparency and openness will be restored at ISU.”

SALMON — A May 24 meeting of the Salmon City Council that was called in order to fire Salmon Police Chief Jim Spain violated Idaho’s open meeting law, according to an investigation of the incident by an independent prosecutor.

“It is my determination that this meeting was not properly conducted,” Canyon County Prosecuting Attorney John Bujak wrote in a letter to Lemhi County Prosecutor Bruce Withers and Salmon City Attorney John McKinney.
