A homelessness task force is accusing the Orange County Board of Supervisors of restricting free speech at its meetings and violating California public records laws.
The ACLU Foundation of Southern California, on behalf of the People’s Homeless Task Force, filed a lawsuit against the Orange County Board of Supervisors for alleged free speech restrictions.
According to the lawsuit, the board has denied the Peoples’ Homeless Task Force access to documents and video footage of meetings and destroyed documents that should have been kept for a minimum of two years under California law. “When one speaker who was not an elected official exceeded her time limit, the Chair cut her off and scolded, ‘You are not more important than other speakers. I know you think you are,’” the lawsuit states.
That’s in addition to other restrictive rules practiced by the board, including moving the public comment section of the meeting to the end instead of the beginning of meetings and not allowing audience members to applaud during meetings, the lawsuit said.
