The Associated Press, the South Carolina Press Association and state newspapers conducted an audit of school boards, city and county councils and law enforcement agencies to check up on compliance with open government laws. Police in Charleston and about a third of the other cities tested, didn’t seem aware of the law. About one fourth of the council members admitted closed door discussions that are not permitted by law. (11/14/05)
