If I Do It, It Is Legal; I Didn't Do Anything Wrong

This is a remakable story. The City Council for years ignores council rules, city ordinances, state laws and the US Constitution, now wonders if it is illegal to meet with the Suprintendent of Schools. The council with the least interest in rules and laws declares it must be legal because he did it.

[From article]
"The Cambridge City Council has asked city employees to determine the legality of its members meeting privately with Superintendent of Schools Jeffrey Young.
[. . .]
Councilor Ken Reeves said that that he saw nothing wrong with a councilor meeting with Young.
“I had lunch with the superintendent this past week as his request, I didn’t ask him,” he said. “I think we both benefited from trying to understand some of the riddles in the system.”
