The ICA is like a "good ol boy" network on steroids. Five unelected men, secret meetings the whole nine yards! Forget about democracy, whats that?
The Pittsburgh Fiscal Oversight Board,
a.k.a. Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority (ICA)
is pissing on the Pennsylvania Sunshine Act!
The ICA was established by the Pennsylvania General Assembly to oversee Pittsburgh’s fiscal policy during this present “fiscal crisis.” This body of overseers consists of five unelected members, one executive director and one big shot lawyer and they have unprecedented power regarding Pittsburgh’s fiscal policy. The law which established the ICA, Act 11 of 2004 mandates that the ICA follow the provisions of the Pennsylvania Sunshine Act. This means that when the ICA members discuss policy or consider any decision making that they must do this in an advertised open meeting. The ICA has consistently ignored this.
THE ICA IS PISSING ON THE PENNSYLVANIA SUNSHINE ACT!
They must think that they are above the law.
Call Governor Ed Rendell today and tell him to make these clowns obey the law. His phone # is 1-717-787-2500
