Don’t call them ‘secret’ meetings

Re: “Council threatens to eject Coun. Farkas,” April 6.

I would suggest Coun. Jeromy Farkas be less reckless with his use of language.

The issue appears to be about in-camera, or closed meetings. Labelling these as “secret” meetings is inflammatory.

“Secret” certainly gets Farkas attention on his tweets, but does little to move the debate forward in a constructive manner.

Closed meetings generally deal with land, labour or legal matters. These issues should not, at least initially, be dealt with publicly for obvious reasons.

Farkas is quite within his rights to ask the question. He just needs to do it in a different manner. One can disagree without being disagreeable. Peter Teppler, Calgary
