  • “[F]or enforcement of the constitutional maxim, other than popular election, plaintiffs must avail themselves of the legislative enactments giving effect to Article 6.”
  • no private right of action for damages for violation of open meeting law because there is no indication of legislative intent, express or implied, to create private remedy, citing Cort
