That is
how law is made now and it is a perfect environment for quid pro
quo.

Well, of course it is. And I understand why you'd want to change that. But it's also a perfect environment for stakeholders to let their hair down, listen actively, work around Joe's bias or Suzie's blind spot or Fred's territorialism. Closed meetings can be good things or bad things depending on circumstances. Meetings forced to be open are either useless or staged, as I said. By forcing open meetings you are dealing with the symptom rather than the problem.

They need to make less choices for us (which tend to be wrong) or they need to be really open about the choices they make (making them subject to scrutiny). That's all I'm proposing.

It seems we agree on at least some things. Esp. the part about making less choices for us.
