An assistant attorney general in the AGO s Division of Open Government notified the district and iBerkshires.com of the complaint s resolution via email on Monday afternoon. iBerkshires.com filed a complaint against the committee in July after it became apparent in an open session that the panel had discussed things in executive session that were beyond the stated purpose.
