Issue/Question |
Board was requested to revisit the issue of legislator's ability to send congratulatory letters at public expense. Board agreed to do so. |
| Summary |
The standards for sending a congratulatory lettter at public expense are the same in an election year as they are in a non-election year. Although there is some flexibility in identifying an "extraordinary event or honor," the constitutent must already have received the honor. The opinion provides non-exclusive examples to assist legislators and staff. |
