"Sunshine Act? We don't need no stinkin' Sunshine Act!"
That's pretty much the attitude of unelected Nazareth borough councilman Conrad Bowers. He refused to allow those of us in the lower classes to attend his committee hearings. We might make things "too unwieldy." It's just "not going to work out." Although he had no idea what the Sunshine Act requires, he still insisted on conducting the people's business behind closed doors. When forced by other council members to admit the public, he refused to let them speak.
Yesterday, the voters finally had a chance to speak - at the polls. Comrade Bowers finished dead last among four candidates seeking two positions. Perhaps we thought he might make council "too unwieldy." I guess it's just "not going to work out."
