OM 17-12 Ayotte v. Rhode Island Commission on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing – No Violation

The Complainant alleged that the RICDHH violated the OMA when it failed to timely post meeting minutes on the Secretary of State's website for nine meetings. The OMA provides that "[a]ny citizen or entity of the state who is aggrieved as a result of violations of the provisions of this chapter may file a complaint with the attorney general." R.I. Gen. Laws § 42-46-8(a); see also Graziano v. Rhode Island State Lottery Commission, 810 A.2d 215 (R.I. 2002). Here, pursuant to R.I. Gen. Laws § 42-46-8(a), and the standard established in Graziano, the Complainant provided no indication that he was aggrieved during the time period when the meeting minutes should have been posted but were not. As such, the Complainant had no standing to object. Accordingly, we found no violation.
