Still find it funny they are having a PUBLIC steering committee meeting with members of the public sitting on the committee but they can’t share this information with the rest of the public? These committee members are NOT employees of the city and are NOT elected, in other words their LEGAL STATUS to view documents in executive session is the same as ours . . . WE CANNOT view them so they shouldn’t be able to either. My assumption is in these executive sessions they are discussing the strategy on how to roll this out to the public. If you just look at the members of the committee you can tell their is NO NAYSAYERS in the group. I thought the whole purpose of the committee was to examine just exactly what is being proposed and to see if it will work. Why can’t that be done in public? Nothing is decided yet, as far as I am concerned these meetings should be public and let the public see what is being discussed AND RECORD THEM! This of course is not a surprise. One of the Committee Members and an all around bucket of sunshine, Jessie (Pins) Schmidt was on Turdbook defending the executive sessions saying that people get to talk during public input at the beginning. Talk about what? Speculating what you may discuss in the executive session? Like if a certain broker has a conflict of interest? Let’s face it folks, this administration is anti-open government and we will NEVER see any results from these meetings except a convention center being shoved down our throats with a tax increase to boot. Closed government costs taxpayers way to much, and this time it is going to cost us $400 million.
