is the law that requires public access to meeting and requires
the elected officials to let the public speak. The

The
Brown Act
From the CFAC: California First Amendment Coalition:
The people of this State do not yield their sovereignty
to the agencies which serve them. The people, in delegating authority,
do not give their public servants the right to decide what is
good for the people to know and what is not good for them to
know. The people insist on remaining informed so that they may
retain control over the instruments they have created.
