The chair of the Douglas Henry State Museum Commission, Tom Smith, has informed all fellow members that they should no longer email each other, about anything, at any time.
"It has come to my attention that one or more Commission members have been communicating with other Commission members by e-mail," Smith wrote (in an email) last week. "Per my conversations with the Attorney General's office these e-mail communications could be viewed as discussions and/or deliberations in violation of Tennessee’s Open Meetings Act and otherwise foster a perception of a lack of transparency by this public body.Â
