TVA's secret government within a government with no elected officials
By: R. Neal  shortURL

The Tennessean: TVA board meets behind veil of secrecy:

Board members have been meeting privately in committees, and on conference calls and closed sessions over the past month and a half — all without the public knowing.

[..]

"I think we're very open in the dialogue and what's going on," said Bill Sansom, a Knoxville wholesale grocery executive who has served as TVA's board chairman since 2006.

The article says the meetings may violate federal sunshine laws. The article doesn't say if they are spending one million dollars per day to meet in secret. (By way of Mike Byrd.)
