That’s my thinking, as long as there’s some separation.

Years ago I had a fiscal court that would meet every court day for breakfast. The magistrates all laid out the county billls and ordinances and whatever else and decided how they were going to vote. That violates Kentucky’s open meeting laws. I made an issue of it and they asked if why they couldn’t just “get together for breakfast.” If you’re doing business — or communicating — in taxpayer time, it’s public.

If trump is tweeting about his favorite ice cream flavor on his personal account, block whoever. If he’s tweeting presidential statements, it’s public.
