The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel writes today about the possible effects of the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s July 11th ruling that the Beaver Dam Area Development Corporation is a quasi-governmental body subject to Wisconsin’s Public Records and Open Meetings Laws.  Read it here.

“In its July 11 ruling, the court said factors that can be used to determine whether a private corporation is subject to the records and meetings laws are its source of financing; whether it serves a public function; whether it is subject to government control; and whether the public thinks it’s a government entity.”
