Officials in the Town of Quantico reversed their illegal position of barring anyone from photographing, or recording audio or video during a public Town Council meeting without the full prior consent of Council.
Councilman Russell Kuhns motioned at the start of the meeting to reverse a decision approved last month by the Council to ban such forms of meeting documentation. Councilman Tom Davis seconded the motion. It passed without the support of Council members Peggy and Alex Alexander.
The Quantico Town Council is in violation of state law.
If you want to record video, audio, or take photographs during any of the Town Council’s public meetings, you now must first ask the council for permission.
