South Portland To Host Training Session On Freedom Of Access Act

The South Portland City Council will hold a Freedom of Access Act training session on Monday, in part to address concerns about one councilor’s emails. Instruction will be provided by Sally Daggett, an attorney with Jensen Baird Gardner & Henry of Portland who is the city’s corporation counsel, and Brenda Kielty, a lawyer who is the state’s public access ombudsman. The city occasionally hosts training sessions for newer councilors, which they are required to attend under the act, said City Manager James Gailey.
