“You don’t need a court order for a public meeting,” the lawyer said. “I’m told they kick everybody out, saying that that meeting concerns personnel action,” Virgil said. “I was told that was an exception.” “Hmm.

He explained, and possibly polished the potential testimony. “The fact is, if we don’t get anything with the camera, we’ll never mention it. If we do, then people won’t care what prior testimony we had—anything will work.” “Okay, let me talk to the big guy, see if he’s up for a court order. Is this gonna come back to us anywhere?” “Only if you prosecute some people for stealing a few million bucks from the state, taking full credit for cleaning up public corruption and stopping the theft of taxpayer funds, on your way to the governor’s office.”
