December 6th email to Lisa Madigan’s Public Counselor. It contains complaints about
- the timeliness and content (or lack thereof) of information requested by Pleasant Valley Road’s Larry Larson, and
- whether the meeting was proceeded by the appropriate legal notice

- is all the information I asked for at the URIVDA[Upper Illinois River Valley Development Authority] hearing and meeting public or private?
- Does the public not have a right to obtain copies of the information that is being discussed at a public meeting?
- Also, after the board votes upon resolutions, does that information become public or remain private forever?
