New York State's Open Meeting Law "gives the ‘general public’ " the right to attend the meetings of public bodies, with exceptions for closed sessions . . .. New York law does not limit access to meetings to a specific category of people or a profession, such as "the traditional press." Anyone may attend. The right to attend meetings does not include a right to participate or comment. A public body may permit you to speak at open meetings, but does not have to do so.
