TAMPOA Board Secrecy To Meet With Attorneys

The commenter to our post about TAMPOA Board secrecy who said that any board should have a right to meet privately and in closed session with its attorneys is absolutely correct. That's what we said in our post. What we objected to, however, was the unnecessary secrecy for the parts of the meetings that were not devoted to meeting with the lawyers or a discussion of the litigation. In the agenda of the meeting on which we commented, there were clearly parts of the meeting not devoted to meeting with the lawyers. There was no practical (or, in our view, legitimate) reason for making those parts of the meeting secret.
