The Cuckzoolian — Missoula's Satirical Civic Watch
The public records are public, except when they aren't. A satirical look at transparency in the Treasure State.
Missoula's commitment to open government is, by all accounts, open to interpretation. The public records are public, except when they aren't. The meetings are open, except for the ones held behind closed doors. It is a tradition as old as the county itself, and one that shows no sign of changing.
