BREAKING: SUNY will quickly vote again to kill LICH, after judge rules trustees violated state’s open meetings law
Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Johnny L. Baynes issued a ruling on Thursday vacating the State University of New York’s vote to close Long Island College Hospital — but SUNY quickly responded that it would cure the procedural deficiencies cited by Judge Baynes and move next week to put LICH back on its death march.
Judge Baynes found that the SUNY board of trustees violated the state’s open meetings law in its kill-LICH vote.
He permanently enjoined SUNY from taking any action to close the Cobble Hill hospital until it abides by the open meetings Law and all other applicable statutory provisions.
