Town of Hempstead Supervisor John Ferretti must testify at an Oct. 8 hearing regarding the state’s Open Meetings Law in a suit brought against him and the town board by his Democratic opponent for the seat, a judge ruled last week.
State Supreme Court Judge Gary M. Carlton ruled on Sept. 24 that Ferretti, Town Clerk Kate Murray and Council Members Laura Ryder and Thomas Muscarella were required to comply with the request to testify and that the town must produce a list of subpoenaed documents, both things the town had previously argued it should not have to do.
