Re: Agreement Hashed Out In Private? I do not think that the outcome of agreements negotiated in public are necessarily any better than the outcome of agreements negotiated in private.
The various 'public' special interests that attend these groups have their own agendas that are outside of the meeting's intended scope: wiring the city.
If the meeting was public, there would be a lot of these sentiments expressed: "wire me first" and "i'll agree but only if they subsidize [insert cause]", "that is not fair" and "work should be done by [insert company]"
In the duration of time that it would take the public to speak their uneducated opinion, the city could be wired. |
