Open Meetings Should Be Open to All Citizens
There were several efforts in the Iowa General Assembly to allow secret executive sessions while public bodies handle public business. Senator Bass voted against this measure, one of only four, as the current law restricts secret meetings and public scrutiny. Open meetings ensure government accountability and curb hidden taxes and costs. Citizens should watch public boards and demand transparency, as most officials prefer informing the public and welcoming scrutiny. Open meetings of public bodies are essential to an open society.
