[edit] Authority keeps lid on Jekyll contract
"Jekyll Island's governing authority ducked public review of its most important redevelopment contract prior to the Dec. 1 vote which approved it, internal e-mails show. Even a state senator who had sought to comment on the contract said he was evaded.
"It shows their contempt and disrespect for the people I represent," said state Sen. Jeff Chapman, R-Brunswick. "This is the people's business."
However, Jekyll officials say if they have to provide public review of contracts before board vote, it would make it impossible for them to broker complex deals with developers."
