DOES THIS MAKE SENSE?

       In Saturday's, 8/26/2017, Des Moines Register the following article was found on the front page.  "The state board tasked with enforcing Iowa's PUBLIC meetings law met in SECRET Friday on a case involving an accidental fatal shooting by a Burlington police officer, then voted to take action based on that secret meeting. 

     But the board won't say what action it took, or what it concerned. The Des Moines Register has filed a complaint that asks its board members to fine themselves $1,000 each."
