DuPage Co. (ECWd) –
During the last College of DuPage Board of Trustees meeting Dianne McGuire tried to make the case that the closed session recording requested by the States Attorney Bob Berlin must not be released without a protective order that ensures the closed session recordings are not released by the States Attorney.
McGuire and her antics can be viewed by going to the 2:07:45 mark of the video at this link.
McGuire has been very public about her distrust of the advice of the legal counsel provided by Tim Elliot and refused to support the release of the recording even after being given proper legal advice that a protective order is already built into the statute.
We now have validation from the States Attorney’s office that the legal advice provided by Tim Elliot was in fact spot on. In fact, Berlin’s office points to the very same statute section that Mr. Elliot read to the Board in response to McGuire’s comments.
