[edit] City manager responds to public records ruling

"In 2007, a MEIC member and a staff member asked to see documents covering the city of Great Falls’ relationship with the Southern Montana Electric Generation & Transmission Cooperative, which wants to build a coal-fired power plant eight miles east of Great Falls.

The MEIC particularly wanted to know what kind of development agreement the city had with SME, since the city has invested $2 million in development costs as a potential part-owner of the power plant. The city is a member of SME, along with five Montana rural electric co-ops.

City representatives refused to release draft documents to the MEIC."
