The wealthy have meetings which insist upon not speaking publicly about the topics or people who attend even elected officials.  Us poor folks have to have oversight over our meetings but they have time, privacy and great surroundings to make their rules and regulations which they will then have politicians push through for them.  We, the public, are being screwed by such meetings and being excluded from the rule/ policy making process.

Closed meetings at ALEC and AEI, Pocan said, are "definitely not good for public policy, and they're not good for democracy."
