The Massachusetts Attorney GeneralsOffice (AGO) is conducting a third investigation of HLY, and also has both civil and criminal enforcement authority. The Department explains that [t]hese three pending investigations concern the operation, management, and oversight at HLY. Two of these are being conducted by entities empowered to bring both civil and criminal charges.
Given that an interpretation of the Open Meeting Law falls within the authority of the Attorney GeneralsOffice (AGO) and not this office, I am unable to address those issues in this determination. See G. L. c. 30A, 23. If unresolved issues remain, I encourage the parties to contact the AGO for a determination on the status of the grievance report.
