Tri-City Healthcare District Sued for Member Exclusion

The Tri-City Healthcare District is being sued over a decision in April 2011 to exclude an elected board member from some of its closed session meetings. The lawsuit argues that the agency should be prohibited from barring Randy Horton from executive sessions because doing so disenfranchises the 25,000 residents who voted for him.
