"The Michigan Supreme Court ruled Monday that Michigan's Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission violated the state Constitution by meeting in closed session and keeping some legal memos from the public.

"In a 4-3 decision, the high court ruled the commission is required to conduct all of its business at open meetings and should have published seven of 10 legal memos that constituted 'supporting materials' for map drawing under the Michigan Constitution. The four justice majority ordered recordings of the meeting be released along with the seven legal memos."
