Latest Lansing City Council squabble, privatizing Water & Light

The Lansing city council is having an intense squabble involving technology and transparency.  Two unresolved issues appear to be at the heart of the dispute.  

First, did a city employee erase information from the city-issued laptop of council person Kathie Dunbar?  

Second, should a full council session involving “computer usage”-- presumably related to the incident -- have been closed to the public and the media?  

Lansing City Pulse Managing Editor Andy Balaskovitz has been following the story. He also updates a provocative exchange over whether the city should sell the Lansing Board of Water and Light.
