The common thread in all of Lussenhop's so-called "public" meetings has been that (as far as the public knows) he just shows up at events: Spruce Hill, Historical Society, First Thursday. Showing up without announcing well in advance is not public. Showing up so that only those who happen to attend, or who know to appear because they have some sort of inside knowledge, is not public. Public means everyone, not just the members of Spruce Hill, or the Board of the Historical Society, or whoever happens to show up at First Thursday. And it means that everyone has the knowledge of an impending event sufficiently far in advance so that he or she can make an intellegent decision as to whether or not to attend. This whole thing is so obviously contrived, it's pathetic.
