Criminals In the City Hall

Criminals in the City Hall By Elton Camp Reporter Joe’s state had enacted a sunshine law But to open meeting the city council said, “Naw.” “We see no reason that you should be needing To know anything about the council’s proceeding.” “We will spend the public’s money as we see best And just how we do it isn’t any business to the rest.” Joe continued to demand that the law be obeyed Contempt for the regulation the council displayed The next meeting, they firmly closed the door Keeping Joe out just as they had done times before With their contempt for the law, Joe had enough So he decided that it high time for him to be rough So he obtained a bright yellow crime scene tape Across the red meeting room door he did drape The photograph he took ran on the front page The public outcry threw the council into a rage
