That comment was from City Manager Greg Doyon when members of CCE and MEIC were allowed yesterday to look at previously denied city documents.
Jerry Taylor, who is a member of CCE and MEIC, said that nothing appeared startling and some were "very, very interesting". I hope Mr. Taylor provides us with details.
Although this is great news, there are still e-mails between SME and the City that have to be reviewed by attorneys before they will be released. According to Mr. Doyon, "SME has filed affidavits with the city specifying information that cannot be released because it contains trade secrets".
We don't even know if this "trade secret" excuse is even legitimate. To my knowledge, nobody at the City has ever confirmed this, but then again, nobody at the City is anywhere close to having any expertise in this area. They go strictly by what Tim Gregori tells them. And as we know, the majority of the Commissioners think he walks on water.
So, just who will be the attorneys looking at these e-mails to determine how confidential they really are?

I have a feeling they won't be working for the City.

At 17:00 in the audio file of the meeting: "There is another check and balance involved. When an affidavit is filed with a government entity the government entity has to review the documentation claimed in the affidavit. City staff has done that."
Gregg outlined this issue for you some time ago.
