[lstac] IMLS hearing

Fri Apr 18 09:08:31 PDT 2025

Bunch of us in RI are watching (not in person!), but I couldn't bear it. I figured someone will fill me in on the result.

This is the actual lawsuit: https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press-docs/1.pdf if anyone needs more context beyond the back and forth in court.

Hello Jeff,

I've been watching this morning as well. It seems like it comes down to whether or not the actions are considered closure of the agency. It is a bit nerve racking to listen to. The going back and forth.

I don’t have much context beyond I think it’s Rhode Island and it involves IMLS.

Would love to hear more info from folks who have any.
