Supreme Court of Rhode Island
Foster Glocester Regional School Building Committee v. Steven A. Sette
June 4, 20102010 R.I. LEXIS 73
Summary
The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s declaration that the Glocester Town Council lacks authority to remove Gregory Laramie from the Foster‑Glocester Regional School Building Committee and vacated the preliminary injunction. The Court based its decision on a plain‑meaning analysis of the town charter and the 1958 act, finding no express or implied removal power. Justice Robinson dissented, arguing the charter does grant such authority. The case was remanded for further proceedings.
