Why have transparency and open public access to hearings when you can just pull the plug!
Here was the County Council's Committee Agenda as of Friday, September 23, 2011 at 3:36 PM. Scroll down below this document to see how it was changed minutes before the Artificial Turf - not an Open Meetings Act- Work Group hearing.

You bet! This document was modified at 1:21 PM on Monday, September 26, 2011, just 39 minutes before the -not an Open Meetings Act- Work Group Report on Artificial Turf hearing was to start and gone was the notation that the artificial turf hearing would be televised.
Lots to hide today at the Council! Kudos to the Council for just pulling the plug! Great way to keep out the public.
ReplyDeleteIt's not like you are spending the public dollars on artificial turf that costs $40,000 a field more than other brands...$40,000 - that would put a teacher in a classroom.
The Council, led by Valerie Ervin, thinks this will make the transparency issue and the environmental degradation issues related to artificial turf disappear. Not gonna happen. More and more people are watching as this county government shuts it down. The Emperor has no clothes.
