THIS IS WHAT YOU GET when Boards of Supervisors or any other public body gets used to meeting in private. Frankly, we think the resident press in Prince William has not hollered loud enough about the endless “executive sessions” of their Board of Supervisors, called on the slightest pretext and with only the loosest possible interpretation of Virginia’s Freedom of Information Law.

Mark- us down as sounding like a broken record on this subject if you will, but once a Board of Supervisors—or a School Board, or a Board of Zoning Appeals, or a Planning Commission— gets in the habit of considering all important, and therefore controversial, issues behind closed doors, then the Prince William situation is what you get. □
