From the transcript
Well, Before we go on with our discussion, I do have a suggestion. If it turns out that we do not vote to go into executive session, I think we are— the reason for that sounds like it's because we're kind of got a catch-22 situation going on here. We have certain instances where it's a no-brainer to go into executive session because that's just the kind of thing we go into executive sessions to discuss. This doesn't seem to fall neatly into any of those categories. I would suggest that if we don't go into executive session tonight, that we request of our attorney a short brief, that if he, if he can't explain to us what he would have in executive session, he could at least explain to us why it's a good idea to go into executive session.
