CAPE VINCENT — A state expert on open government laws said Friday that town Supervisor Urban C. Hirschey had no authority to disclose "confidential" information to the public without the town board's consent.

Mr. Hirschey is taking heat for allegedly releasing attorney-client privileged letters and e-mail exchanges between the Planning Board, its attorney, Todd M. Mathes, and various other organizations to the Wind Power Ethics Group to assist the group in a lawsuit against the Cape Vincent Planning Board.
