EDITOR: What is wrong is that the Sunshine Act is a noble concept to avoid back room decisions but an impractical way of operating government, as it would be for conducting any other business.
Officials should be permitted to discuss anything at any time. But decision should require a motion at one public meeting and a vote at two subsequent public meetings. This would allow the media and the public an opportunity to participate and respond.
