BENTONVILLE -- Benton County judge candidate Sen. Dave Bisbee, R-Rogers, said county justices of the peace can meet one on one without violating the state Freedom of Information Act.
Bisbee said he would encourage justices of the peace to meet privately if he's elected county judge. Bisbee faces Democrat Bill Williams of Bella Vista in the general election Nov. 4.
Several attorneys and those well-versed in the law said intentional meetings between two justices of the peace where any county business is conducted violates state law.
