[edit] Government is the people's business
"My first business cards hadn't even been printed when an editor sent me out to cover a county hospital board meeting. Something about the board hiring a corporate management team.
Snooze.
The chairman gaveled the meeting into session, made a few comments and I scribbled some notes. No news here, I huffed. Then he called for an executive session, cast me out into the hall and closed the doors to the boardroom.
And that's where I sat. For hours.
A doctor, who also had been kicked out of the meeting, finally broke the silence in the hallway,saying, "Don't you think you have a right to be in there, you know, if they're deciding the fate of a publicly held hospital?"
Well, if you put it like that."
