Judge dismisses media lawsuit over closed Republican meeting Associated Press View Comments HELENA  A Montana judge dismissed a lawsuit by The Associated Press and other media organizations that argued the chairman of a legislative committee illegally held a secret meeting of Republican lawmakers before the committee voted on bills involving abortion and transgender health care. District Court Judge Mike Menahan ruled Thursday that he was unwilling to say that when most of the majority party’s committee members meet, it constitutes a quorum whose discussions must be open to the public under the right-to-know provision of Montana s Constitution, the Montana State News Bureau reported.
