There traditionally have been three and only three reasons for closing public meetings: Property acquisition; personnel matters; and conferences with counsel. Once, when newspapers were more than apologists for business interests, The Observer (or the previous Charlotte News) would have been in court in a heartbeat to force the city's hand. blockheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17376074256505218722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-40776409224551214442013-01-15T15:54:35.058-05:002013-01-15T15:54:35.058-05:00The seven who voted for this must be removed from ...The seven who voted for this must be removed from office, immediately and by any means necessary.Garth Vaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03575150785051894691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-59138772059121890812013-01-15T15:05:31.175-05:002013-01-15T15:05:31.175-05:00Notice the tax was implemented to avoid a run-in w...Notice the tax was implemented to avoid a run-in with the Chamber and the CCCP.<br /><br />A taxk on hotel/motels and or tax on rental cars would have been better, as the bulk of the sting would be removed from Mecklenburg County citizens.<br /><br />What a bunch of wussies.Wiley Coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16966764080565903720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-50242162585124414612013-01-15T14:13:25.630-05:002013-01-15T14:13:25.630-05:00Wow, Peter has been on a role lately here.

And you are also right, at least the Miami situation is in public while the Panthers keep it behind doors.WashuOtakuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16373968014645656779noreply@blogger.com
