MARION — A violation of open meeting law has been alleged against the Marion Select Board.

On Wednesday, Nov. 6, Town Administrator Geoff Gorman announced that the town is awaiting adjudication from the attorney general’s office of Massachusetts.

“In summary, there was a violation in that the opinion of one member of the Select Board was shared via email with the remainder of the board outside of public meeting,” Gorman said.

He said that the email has been deemed “deliberation” by the attorney general’s office, which violates open meeting law.

The violation was originally alleged on Oct. 16.

Gorman received a copy of a written complaint sent to the state alleging the violation on Oct. 26, he said.
