...The introduction to the Brown Act describes its purpose and intent:[2]
In enacting this chapter, the Legislature finds and declares that the public commissions, boards and councils and the other public agencies in this State exist to aid in the conduct of the people's business. It is the intent of the law that their actions be taken openly and that their deliberations be conducted openly. The people of this State do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies which serve them. The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know. The people insist on remaining informed so that they may retain control over the instruments they have created.

This works in so many ways. Will USHPA follow it? no, they are in Colorado. Do our Regional Directors need to follow it?

Sir, Thank You.

It's good to know there are laws/guidelines that UShPA should follow. It is easy to see they, UShPA, are not in compliance, governing to benefit a few, with economic interests.

Often when those of us voice our dissatisfaction with the back door way things are normally done, we are bullied, accused of "spouting negativisms", etc.

Thanks for posting the Brown Act info.

Sincerely,
Sam
