SME's 2009 Annual Report

We have a copy of SME's 2009 annual report, which up to this time, we've been told is secret, confidential or whatever you want to call it. (The copy is not very good, but you can get the gist of it).

Well, according to Montana Code Annotated 2009, it's not:

2-3-203. Meetings of public agencies and certain associations of public agencies to be open to public -- exceptions. (1) All meetings of public or governmental bodies, boards, bureaus, commissions, agencies of the state, or any political subdivision of the state or organizations or agencies supported in whole or in part by public funds or expending public funds, including the supreme court, must be open to the public. [emphasis added].

Why shouldn't the public have this and about time, as we're being 'bled out' here in Great Falls, and what does Mr. Bronson
say about transparency, huh?

So what is so top secret in this? Is this what the black secret box is full of at silly hall? Judge Phillips in Lewistown (hearing the city secret box case) needs a quick wakeup call to end all this nonsense ASAP. Where is the peoples justice system, if not in the courts of the land, which apparently remain silent.....
