At least, at one point I couldn't get them that way.  However, that was a while back and things may have changed. It would be worth a phone call though to find out.

In a day and age when it is so easy to make information available, it must be a little frustrating for you. In my opinion there should be little reason to keep information out of people's hands. If correctly done the cost should be minimal to none and the information is far from the levels of national security. Oh well, times change but sometimes people don't. It's all part of human nature. Over the years though, information will all become more open and attitudes will change with it. They will find out it wasn't such a big deal to begin with. It just may take a longer than it needs to.

For a while, I started e-mailing her days in advance to get agendas but she still would not send them. I've tried calling to reason with her, but she has not returned a call in 10 months.  I was at an Oxford meeting last month and no agenda was put out for the public.  Sigh. I wish Oxford was more like Belvidere sometimes.

It is an interesting idea. Synergies can create savings. However, the devil is always in the details. Any idea what they are looking at with future liabilities? my2cents, thanks for joining in on the fun. It is an interesting idea. Synergies can create savings.
