Village leaders of Hortonville declined to act on a proposed ordinance that states, “All trustees and village officials have a duty to refrain from disseminating information circulated during a closed session…”
Violations of the ordinance could lead to a fine of $100 to $500 for a first offense. Currently there are no penalties for leaking closed session information.
The plan will now go back to the village’s Executive Committee for more discussion and drafting.
