That makes absolutely no fucking sense. They legit just said the quiet part out loud, that the government isn't for US.

Not a public body? Doesn't the MS public elect them and pay for them?

If they're not a public body, we shouldn't have to pay them then.

Stop paying them with the public’s money.

Total bs. Governing in secret. City councils, county boards of supervisors, and any other elected or appointed body that oversee public conduct or funds should be subject to open meeting laws.
