Channel 13 Sunshine Week

I was on a panel today that filmed an hour long show today at Channel 13 on Sunshine Week. It was alot of fun. After it was done, I want to make one thing perfectly clear.

There are matters that the Airport Commission should not discuss within the public view; for exampe, negotiations with MassPort or airlines. These discussions by the Airport Commission must, however, be done within the contents of a Monthly Board meeting. An Executive Session should then be voted in to discuss these negotiations outside the public view, where minutes are kept.

Once the underlying cause for the Executive Session has concluded, then the minutes of that Executive Session should be released. I could be wrong but I do not believe any Executive Sessions have been called since January, 2005. Since negotiations are never mentioned during the Airport Monthly Minutes and no Executive Sessions are called, how can tax-payers know what is going on????
