Chair Sword is quoted as saying "[T]the city had always held contested case hearings for officers behind closed doors, and that debating whether to have them opened up public scrutiny is “new to us.”  Here is blatant proof that he and other who are in favor of closed meetings are simply "minions" of a corrupt government system, can't think for themselves, and either don't realize it or don't care.
