Matt, You could combine this with your other thread " Lakewood Seek and Find". Next time just post a picture of a pitch black room and then we can all guess in unison, "Madigan and the rest of the City Council in Executive Session"!
I expect elected officials to be transparent. I do not expect them to repeatedly conduct business behind closed doors.

Anderson and O'Leary are up for election.

When Michael J. Skindell is elected Mayor of Lakewood on November 3rd, this will be the next post in the "Lakewood Seek & Find" thread:

I wonder what they've got up their sleeve for election eve!

Madigan's last stand!

I would not be at all surprised to see council seal the deal with CCF.

[Michael Deneen]

The ongoing veil of secrecy from this City Hall is alone reason enough to seek new leadership.

The Ohio Sunshine Laws really are not that hard to follow.

The "Ohio Sunshine Laws 2015: An Open Government Resource Manual" can be read at http://www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/YellowBook.

It is a shame that City Hall refuses to follow them.
