Now why did they need a closed session?

Today Alex Hummel provided us with a clearer picture of just why the Oshkosh Common Council went into closed session two weeks ago. I just received the following email from Oshkosh citizen Dan Rylance who responds to this nonsense much better than I could:

The Common Council had a closed meeting so the Five Rivers group could tell them they had no money. Wow! I thought everyone who has followed this knows or had a suspicion that this was a shell game. They had no money. So we go closed to talk about this.

To make matters worse, two Common Council members, who voted for the closed meeting then break the secrecy of the closed meeting and spin to the Northwestern their take on the closed meeting. How self-serving!

All this proves that sunshine is a better solution to doing the people's business than darkness.

I think that the whole thing is stupid. With all of the people needing to pay back taxes and delinquent payments etc. and the growing building abandonment(some to Walmart) there is increasingly less and less (in my mind) that's attractive about oshkosh (for tourism)and there's less and less we can do about it. Oshkosh is turning into a self-serving corrupt government controlling a slum.

If they (Five Rivers Group)don't have the money who's going to pay? The government? Ha, were millions and billions in debt federally and locally we cannot even pay for a simple thing as education!

So on goes the race to the bottom!!

Either there was something really fascinating on TV tonight, or the Anonymous-es have a decent streak.
Do you see that? Look how much time has passed - they left the kid alone.

Very cool.
