I'd also like to default to be in public. I think that's what our constituents and voters expect. When there is information that might relate to a personal action or a privacy issue, the exception should be that we go in camera and that there be a justifiable reason. In my local government work I've never had staff reports delivered in camera, and I don't think our constituents would expect that.
